[quote=Anonymous]I am also an only who has always, even when I was away at college, lived within a few hours of my parents. Had I moved to CA and had they wanted to move nearby if we appeared settled, I'd have welcomed the move. They're not really old or in bad health, but as those years creep up I admit I'd prefer to have them close. There is a chance we'll move to CA or to the NW in a few years; if we do and if we stay, I'd URGE them to also come. It was nice to have them here for my children's early years. But again, if they weren't nearby we'd have worked something out. Don't fret. Have a conversation with your child about how you'd hope to retire near her someday but not suffocate her. You'd like to help, be a parent, be a present grandparent. If your daughter doesn't totally suck (and if you don't either) this may be a sweet sentiment. And in the meantime, enjoy the freedom while your daughter is in college for four years! [/quote]
