I think it is an interesting book. Never heard before and so we should try it.

We live 6 to 8 hours away from any family. The location is based on my husband’s job. When we lived close to family his commute was 1-2 hours each way. Now his commute is 15-30 minutes each way. He also worked a lot of over time. Now he works a typical 8 to 5 workweek. We moved just before having our first child. I am happy we see so much of him.

I moved cross country for grad school and stayed. I wasn’t thinking about children at the time. Now I wish we were closer so that my family could be part of my baby’s everyday life, (and I know my parents feel the same!)

Ever since I was eight I lived right next to my grandparents until my uncle built a house inbetween us. I loved living by family. We now live 5 minutes away from my parents. My husband has turned down a few promotions which would require us to move away. I love being able to spend time making memories with kids and their grandparents but once in awhile I would just love to stay home and enjoy a holiday all to our own

We talk all of the time about moving closer to family. My family is in Kansas City – and we are not going there and Joe’s family is in New Jersey. I would just like to move to Denver. A little bit closer to my family but also closer to a larger aiport and flying would be cheaper. Mikayla would like to see her grandparents more and having family close by is really important too.

We are far from family – California and Australia. But there are still strong bonds. My 4 year old just takes it in stride – and her favorite person in the whole world is her 12 year old cousin in Australia.

Both my husband and I lived here before we married, as did our families. So no hard choices for us, we just stayed in the same area and now are within 35 minutes from ALL of our family members, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. It is such an amazing blessing!

We did chose where we lived based on family. We had lived way off in Kansas but decided to move and chose MN because my family is here. Now my in-laws who live in Nevada are thinking about joining us here as well. We might get to be blessed with having both sets of Grandparents close by.
