The US tends to be a lot more spread out than Europe and the rest of the world. It seems like we’re also more likely to move long distances for jobs and the like.
I’m pretty close to most family, 10 to 40 minute drives for everyone that doesn’t live out of state
About 80 mins from my parents, an hour from my in-laws, and 45 mins from my brother-in-law and his wife & kids. All of my other family are farther away and irrelevant anyway.
If my parents and in-laws were younger, my husband and I probably would’ve left the country by now, but our parents are aging and they need us within driving distance.
