Is it important to live close to family?

I guess it's just all up to you and how you feel. I personally like being near family because if something comes up and I have to go somewhere then they will help me with my son. I also like the fact that my son will grow up and know his family members that live near us. He has some cousins that live in another state and they have never seen him before and they never come visit and we don't even know where they live. But also, you want to make sure your children are in a good school district. And you want to make sure they are in a safe place. But all in all you are the one that has to make that decision.

I think it's important to be close to our family but not in terms of distance. Nowadays there is nothing so far that we can't visit, so distance becomes less and less important. My kids are quite far from the rest of the family on my side, still they are "closer" to my part of the family than to my husband's and most of them live close to us. SO you should consider what is best for you and your kids and if that takes you a bit far from your family just make sure that you guys stay " close" in terms of being in touch, share things, visit when possible and have them to visit you . Distance made no difference when it came to my kids and my family, and closeness made no difference when it came to my kids and my husband's family.

that was tough,,its nice to live near the family i guess..in choosing which is which in this situation you must always consider your financial capacity first and foremost..

it's up to you but i'll tell you that all it takes is just some getting used to. it's not all too bad to live away from your family. sure you will miss them a lot. i live away from my family and i miss them like crazy at times but we always communicate so we don't miss each other that much. we email, we call, we text. i even find things better between us because we're being too pleasant with each other and there's not much room for arguments anymore. plus i was able to really appreciate them all the more. and the place you have is very nice and very promising for your kid.

It really depends on how much you are earning and what you want your children's values of life to be! If you are relatively rich and do not worry about the next meal or paying for your house, then for sure live in the rich place where your children are safe and receive good education. Good education is very important for their later life. HOWEVER, if you want them to love their family more, to value family more than money, then live where you are close to your family

Family is the most important thing in the world. While going back to live close to yours might have some advantages, you have to consider what will be the best thing for the new little family member. You have now started your own family, the wellbeing of the little one is the most important thing you should be considering. Why not encourage your family to move close to you?

Personally I'd rather live where there's more hope in a future for my kids. But at the same time I'd want to live close to family. I'm lucky I live in a city where the education is good and it's close to family. Which is nice. Go for what's best for your family, or child(ren).

At this generation education is more important than others.. Being closer to family teaches the child some good characters such as kindness, affection and most likely security..But when the child goes out in the present diverse location it interacts with many and would acquire greater knowledge..Here the future of the child should be given the highest priority..Take care and have a secure future,..

No doubt it is important & essential to live close to family. It will always increase affection to each others who ever the member does not matter like.. father, mother, brather, sister, wife, husband, uncle etc. There is something to share for each member with others. It makes family bond stronger.. & it really should be.. I think so far.

i think you should first concern how to raise your kids. you should raise them with a good environment. even though you are not close to your family you can still close to them by using techno in this age theres a lot of way to stay close even though they are far...

Thats a tough one.... I think for me personally, I would want my kids to have the better education and I would want to live in the beautiful place. I would not want to sacrifice my kids welfare for cheaper rent or just to be closer to family. That is just me though. I know how it is to have to settle for less than what you want, and I have done it.

I think it is important, very important. As a child, it gives a sense of security and love. Unfortunately, I live very far from my family for earning. I am the only financial support of my family. Now, it is not difficult for me to live far from them. But, sometimes I really feel homesick and frustrated. In such condition, I think family support can help to get out from it. If I am very frustrated and stressed, I listen to good music and speak to mom over the phone. I never tell her about my problems and we just speak normally. But, her voice helps me to get forget all my problems. It simply recharges me.

Family is the most important thing in the world. While going back to live close to yours might have some advantages, you have to consider what will be the best thing for the new little family member.
