    My dad is the furthest away, about an hour drive. Everyone else is 30 minutes tops. It has its pros and cons..

  • Both my in-laws and my Dad move to Florida in the winter.  They are waiting till LO is born before leaving but will not be in the northeast till May of next year.  And even then they are a 2/3 hour trip.

  • My parents and in laws are about 20 minutes away
  • My parents are 5 min, and in laws are about 20. In laws are not involved, so whatever. All other family is on the east coast, but very far north.

  • We just moved and we have no family close by :(  I'm stressed out for when I go into labor about having to take our 6 year old along with us if my Dad doesn't drive up here quick enough.  He is supposed to be here within the next week or so..so I'm hoping I do not go early.
  • My family is an hour away and my husbands family is 20 minutes. We see my family twice a week and his family maybe once a month. Ha

  • Well my parents moved back once they found out we're expecting baby #1. So they live about 20 minutes from us; which is perfect not too close for constant "in the areas" but close enough to see often. However, in laws are about 5 hours away, 3.5 hours if no traffic at all. Planning on MIL flying out as soon as we drop the in labor bomb. Now LO has two god-fathers and one god-mother. The GF/GM married couple live in Portland OR and we live in Las Vegas, the other GF lives in Washington DC but works for an airline so he jumps on board as soon as he gets the call. Sometimes it really does suck!!!
    Thank you,

  • I live in germany. My inlaws, thankfully, live about 20 minutes away.

    My mom is coming for thanksgiving. My brother for Christmas. I hope my sister can come sometime in 2014/2015.

    My inlaws have an afternoon each week with pj and my husbands siblings help with babysitting. It is great to have family close.

    My parents are about 20 minutes away, but FIL and SMIL are only 5 minutes away. MIL is about 20 minutes too, but that drive isn't nearly as easy.

    In-laws are about 2 minutes away but you'd never know it. We don't see them all that much. My mom and stepdad live 25 min away but are moving closer very soon. My dad & his wife are about 30 min away too.

    There's no way I could be too far from my mom. We're super close and she's a huge help to me. I see her at least 2 times a week.
