[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This sounds pretty typical for a 30-something couple who both have something like finance/large law firm jobs.  It is definitely busy and stressful with a small child.  Sometimes it does eventually result in one or both of them taking a somewhat lower paying and lower demand job and/or moving home closer to family.  You can for now go visit a lot and drop polite hints that you do not think that would be the end of the world.  [/quote]

Yuppy MBAs and JDs never boomerang back home, they need to be in the center of the action and value being in a “tier 1” city. And unless they’re an only child, how is it realistic for their parents to move nearby? If parents made a life in the Midwest and have three adult kids and young grandkids in Boston, DC, and Austin, how do retirees choose which child to live closest to? And grandpas and grandmas tend to retire to warm places like Florida or Arizona, not a cold climate Acela stop where they don’t know anyone.[/quote]
