Are you close? Do you live near where you grew up. Near your parents?
Do you live near husband's family?.
Are you content?

Live in same neighborhood as my ILs and under an hour from my parents who we usually see weekly.
Am I content? Hard to answer. I’m happy my kids are growing up close to all 4 grandparents. It is challenging for me at times.

We live easy driving distance from both sets of parents, but it's not walkable. We like being close but not too close.

I live a 30 second walk from my mom. We are close, too close for comfort though.
A short drive from my in-laws which I think is a happy medium.

I live 8 hours flight away in another country to my mom, where I grew up.

I moved to Brooklyn to get married.

We live in a multi family house apartment owned by my in-laws who they live there, too.

I am content, but I miss my parents and brothers and grandparents very much.

I talk to my parents every day and trying to bring them here.

I live about a 5 minute walk from my parents and my in-laws Smile It’s very nice but I can’t see us staying so close by in the long term.

As a side point, my grandparents moved to my neighborhood when I was a teenager and it was great chinuch for me to be able to learn from them and to see how my parents treated them as they got older and needed significant assistance.

Live near my parents- about ten fifteen minutes walk, three minute drive but a separate neighborhood. It is amazing and I love it!! We are very lucky to have them . In addition my grandparents live five minute drive and my kids visit every week before shabbos.
