August 23, 201610 yr The Josh Cook thread has me thinking. How far away do you live from your parents (or did you if they're no longer with us) and your in-laws? Or your grown children? How far is too far? How close is too close? My In-laws are roughly an hour away, which is the worst distance, because they expect to see us all the time, but are never willing to drive. My parents are about 6 hours, and we see them a few times a year.
August 23, 201610 yr I'm in Louisville, parents are in Frankfort, so about 45 minutes. No in-laws yet.
August 23, 201610 yr 20 minutes from my parents. 35 minutes from my wife's dad and stepmom. 1 hour from my wife's mom and stepdad. See my parents about once a week. See hers about once every 2-3 weeks on average.
August 23, 201610 yr Less than a mile from the inlaws :ohbrother: 0.4 miles according to mapquest. My father lives in FL so about 12 hours for him. My mother lives about 15 minutes away.

August 23, 201610 yr Live in the same town I grew up in along with my parents and in-laws, and it was great. Just a few streets away in either direction. My sister-in-law lived a few doors from them, which was too close IMO. She got all the calls, when the garbage cans blew over, the vcr was flashing 12:00 again, etc. Perfect!

August 23, 201610 yr Sounds right up my alley, but I prefer to build at this point. Is it listed yet? IDK. I'll let you know more when I find out more.
August 23, 201610 yr Whole family lives within 5 miles of each other. Wish I had enough property that would hold all of them. Family is my most cherished asset!
