[quote=Anonymous]Both my parents and IL's are about 4 hours away in different directions. Too far from my parents who are helpful and have great boundaries. Too close to IL's who still expect us to show up for every great aunts birthday party and nags that her son is never around to help her mow the lawn and can't we just drive up this weekend to move the piano? We used to live 5 hours from my parents and about 10 from IL' which was much better. One yearly trip to IL's and lots of weekend visits from my parents. I think the best distance is whatever keeps you happy. My mom could live next door and would call before coming over, if my MIL lived within an hour my husband and I would need marriage counseling. The sad truth is my husband feels even more strongly than I do about both sets of parents. [/quote]
