[quote=Anonymous]DH & I are having similar conversations, OP. We live in MoCo area, which is where DH's three sisters are. We see them a fair amount, everyone gets along and they are great aunts to our kid. But their kids are all older and most of them are not interested in having a relationship with their cousin.

My family is 6 hours away, all in the same town. My siblings have little kids, four in all, and they all love to be together. We probably take 4-5 trips a year to visit, but it's usually just long weekends.

We are thinking about moving there, because our kid is an only and we think it would be good for him to be around his cousins. But it's a big risk for many reasons. Professionally, everything would change (less $$, DH is looking at starting up his own biz). Plus, I love my siblings and we generally all get along, but we do parent differently and I have two SILs who don't work, so sometimes that can cause stress.

On top of this, my mom is older and has health issues, and we have a disabled brother, who will need some kind of care when she goes. He lives with her right now.

So, lots to consider. Sometimes, I think it would be a great idea, and other times, I think how much I love the distance among us.
