Pi Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UKMustangFan Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There could be a house for sale down from the Compound soon! 5 acres with a newly built barn. At least 4 bedrooms..gorgeous house! :ylsuper: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beechwoodfan Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 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!
