[quote=Anonymous]I would love for my family to be closer.  THEY were the ones who decided to move to the place they now hate.  They are working on moving, though, to be slightly closer.  If I could get them as close as Richmond, I would be thrilled.  We shall see.

And my husband's family?  Yeah, we have to get on a plane to see them.  It cost us $1500 just in tickets for 3 people to get there, and then we have to stuff into a 3 BR house with 8 people.

We had tried to figure out a compromise a couple years ago to all move to my husband's home state, but he was not able to find a job that would make him happy.  His mom still keeps asking when we are moving there.  Um, yeah - we bought a house here, I'd say the chances are pretty damn slim at this point.

I'll be happy if we could get my parents within a drive where a day trip is actually feasible (and weekends entirely doable).  That is hopefully within the year.  My ILs are NEVER leaving their home state and it will always be maybe a 2 week a year relationship.[/quote]
