[quote=Anonymous]My mother is helpful and awesome and lives about 15 minutes from us. It's perfect, I wouldn't mind living on the same street to be honest. My in-laws are way more annoying and emotionally high maintenance, they live about 45 mins to an hour away. I think in a lot of ways it's the perfect distance. It's not so far that we have to spend the night when we visit and can easily do a day trip. But it's far enough (down a heavy traffic corridor) that there aren't any visits that aren't planned in advance. My MIL loved to complain we didn't go see them enough before the baby. Since our DC was born, our MIL has been coming to us and she is FULL of complaints about traffic and how far it is. Yeah, I know, that's why we don't always want to come to you. I'd hate having to spend like 4 solid days with my in-laws, afternoon visits is fine. Even better now with our baby because we can't linger (my MIL loves to stall our departure by bringing up random things or asking random favors as we are putting on our coats) and when we have to go, we have to go.
