Extended family.

[Millman]

I am so grateful that much of my wife's family and my own live nearby. We see them for visits often and my kids are getting a sense of extended family that I never really had. Also, they have all stepped up whenever we've needed babysitters and that has been such a big relief.

Do you have extended family nearby? Do you get together with them often? How important do you think these other relationships are?

I think it is really important. I have family within an hours drive and we get together often. My wife watches our nephew so the kids play together 5 days a week which is good for them to bond.

I like that my family is fairly close so we can help each other out any time their is a need. We do not have a babysitter at all so it helps that our parents or siblings can help and we do in return on the rare occasion.
