    What if you were neighbors? My family has talked about how cool it would be if we had like a family cul-de-sac

      That can work for some people, not for me though. I want some distance.

      My parents live about a half hour away, and that’s a good distance: close enough that we can visit frequently, but far enough that we can claim we don’t have time. It works for us.

      My mother in law lives next door and we love it because we don’t have to worry about her but still have some distance

        Yeah I wouldn’t mind that. My in-laws have a duplex but our aunt lives next door. If it wasn’t her, it would be us.
