[quote=Anonymous]DH's family is concentrated in two states, but neither of them are VA. Visiting the in-laws is a flight. My family is all over the southern US and Asia. My family in Asia comes back to the US once a year and we always visit. My parents and a sibling are a flight away. It's expensive to be far apart, but with the exception of one sibling who moved by choice, for the rest of us moves out of our home state were to follow career opportunities. When my kids were little it would have been nice to have grandparents nearby, but I'm not sure the long term trade off in terms of expectations and time demands would have been worth it. We love both our parents and see them multiple times a year and I think I prefer that to juggling them being here. That said, I never lived near grandparents until I was a teenager and one set moved to our town so I don't have a model for how you easily incorporate local family into a busy lifestyle. [/quote]
