live near family? If you do, are you happy? If you don't, do you wish you did?

We had always lived in the same state as our families (2-3 hours away, which was perfect : ) until we moved a few months ago (12 hours away). We're only here temporarily and when we move again we're trying to decide if it would be better to move back near family, or pick a warmer climate (I am not a cold weather person as you can probably tell from my other posts : )

Just wondering what other people think.

Depends on how much you like your family! ;)

We live abut 2-1/2 hrs from dh's brother, which I think is perfect. It's close enough to be able to see them pretty much whenever we want, but we don't get sick of them either. All the grandparents are about 8+ hours away from us though and that sucks. I really wish we had my in-laws closer. I'm really jealous of all those people who can have grandma babysit anytime they want to do something. We're on our own here.

Well, my parents live 5 minutes away, but I would never let them babysit...long story.
