What I always heard was something like:

”Move far away enough that your parents can’t visit in their slippers, but not far enough that they have to packs their bags to visit"

My in-laws live 3 hours away and my parents 14 hours away. We have seven kids so it would be useful to have them nearer on occasion, but my wife and I agree that 3 hours is the minimum we want to live away from other family members.

Do they agree, though? And will you want your kids that far away when you are old?

Does who agree? My in laws and parents? They are fine with the distance. I wouldn’t have a problem with my kids living as far or farther away. I have 8 siblings and we are scattered all over the entire country. I’d be fine if my children did the same.
