[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depends entirely on the grandparents. I wish the set that's 3000 miles away could be farther. The ones that are 400 miles I wish could be closer. [/quote]

Opposite here.  I grew up with loving, warm, supportive, helpful family surrounding us.  DH did not have family nearby.  Now, my family is long distance, and DH's is nearby, but totally self involved.  To have my family nearby would be ideal, but it is just not in the cards.  When we go home, we see my family, and its great.  To have them nearby would mean to have that bond I had with them when I was growing up, and that is priceless.

But it totally depends on the family members, OP.  If they are frigid, toxic and self involved, then it doesn't really matter if no one is in close proximity, really.  I know MIL uses the excuse that her daughters are close to her, but truth is, she babysat a LOT for them and they wore her out, sadly. She has been rude to us all along, so it is really no use.  I am not responsible for the chip on her shoulder. [/quote]
