[quote=Anonymous]I’ll be the lone dissenter here and say that having family nearby (both sets of grandparents) has been invaluable. The distinguishing factor is that they are all incredibly helpful AND respect boundaries. We see my in laws every weekend and they babysit and my FIL fixes stuff around the house. They are in their early 70s but super active and healthy. We do have a few good friends in the area, but there’s no comparison to the kind of help our family provides. I recently considered a job offer in another city but it just isn’t worth giving up the love, affection and yes, help, that family gives us. Unrelatedly, as my mom gets older, I want to be nearby in the last phase of her life so I can do everything possible to help if her health worsens, etc. [/quote]
