[quote=Anonymous]I moved near my mom, who moved across the country when I was in college.  I did not move “to be closer” to her, but familiarity with the DC area through her probably contributed to my decision.

My mother is difficult to spend any length of time with because of her issues, which are only getting more with age.  It has actually been a bonus that I can see her but never need to spend a night at her home or vice versa.

I love my MIL but it would be hard to live in the same city as her and I know DH very much does not want that.  We spend lots of time with her so the distance is I think good in that instance.

No idea where our two daughters will end up, I do not believe they would leave the area to get away from us but they are both going to college a plane ride away.  We are not perfect by any stretch but we are all close and I work really hard on communication when things get out of sorts and I don’t anticipate a relationship rupture.

We plan to pay for them to visit and go on vacations with us for a long time.  Depending on where they both end up we could move, but both really love DC so I don’t think they want us to move.
