[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I'm from here, NoVA native. Still have no family in the area. I don't get why it's a big deal. My kids are 11 and 13. Sure, we could have used some free babysitting, and of course it would have been nice for the kids to be close to extended family, but who wants family up in all your business?[/quote] Because some of us have close-knit families, value family relationships and don't see being close to their family as meaning they are "up in all your business." [/quote] My BIL and SIL are geographically close to my ILs. My ILs knew when they were going to marriage counselling because they babysat. I consider living 10 minutes away from either set of parents too close and yes, up in my business. I value my nuclear family's privacy.[/quote]
