[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents (70s) and siblings ( all in our 40s) ask moved down here within a mile of each other. I see my parents at minimum 3 days a week ( they watch my toddler) and often daily as they help out with random errands. They see my siblings and their kids regularly too. We go on annual vacation together and all holidays,  birthdays,  etc.

This thread is making me incredibly grateful [/quote]

Well my parents live in an area that didn't have jobs for my spouse and I.  And also an area I had no desire to live in (hated living there my MS and HS years).  My sibling lives in the middle of nowhere in the midwest (used to live in a Town of only 500 people, now a town of 15K).  I also have no desire to live there.

We did have a time period where my parents were 2 hours away and that was great.  Kids were young and we stayed there for 14 years.  Everyone loved it.  We tried to convince parents to move to where we ended up after that (due to a job change), but they had no interest.

So I visit my parents a few times a year, as much as I can and chat with them weekly.  
We are all happy where we are, and I love my life and my friends who live near us, so I'm not about to uproot my family to go live somewhere that we would all despise, just to be "near my parents".
