Yep, love them. I had the best parents ever and refuse to start a life without having them close by.
I dread the day my parents aren’t in this world anymore and I’d give anything to talk to them on the phone just to say I love you so I’m making sure I do it now while I have the time 🙂
Very close with my parents. Live 15 minutes away and do Sunday night dinners every week. I also golf with my dad every weekend when the weather is nice. Don’t really see myself moving far away...might be career limiting if I ever want to leave consulting, but it’s a price I’m willing to pay to have the close relationships and make memories with family for myself and my children.
Still live with them so yes, but only a year and a half out of college. Since I’m traveling 4 days a week, I honestly wouldn’t have it any other way for now with the money I’m saving
Will you guys let the lady finish her post?!! :-)
I think I’m mourning idea of having daughter because all men i know move away, get married and are closer with wife’s family. I don’t want to raise two boys to have them just leave me in the dust and only see them a few times a year (yes I know this is silly) just looking for positive stories of men who have great relationships with their moms and what your mom did to cultivate it. Thanks!
This is not silly. It is statistically accurate, and I feel your pain ❤️
My parents, sisters family, and all of my wife’s family live within 30 minutes of us and we see them all the time. We like to hang out with our family more than we like to see our friends. It helps that there are 9 kids under the age of 11 who are a ton of fun to play with. We have a toddler so feel it’s super important to have him build a relationship with his cousins like we do with ours.
My parents live about four houses down. They watch our kids all the time and we are all very close. My mom is an angel, a saint! It helps that she loves my wife (maybe more than me). My mom works at the local high school / middle School and she drives my son to school every morning. My dad bakes brownies with my daughter once a week.
Yes, parents live 45 min away. Probably see them twice a month
👋 One of two boys who currently live 20 minutes away from my parents and I see them about once a month! (Not as often as I should) l.
Still very close to my mom, My brother is closer to my dad.
Family does international trips every year!
I am a woman and not close with my parents (try to call them 2-3x/month and visit 1x/yr), but my brother—who is in his 30s—calls my mom daily and visits at least 5-6x/yr.
I totally agree! Brother is weird.
Not a man...but mom of two boys and our family lives 20 min from my husbands family. We see them several times a month and they aware a huge help with the kids.
Know it’s hard with two boys to trust that relationship will last but my in-laws definitely see us more than my parents.
I live 20 minutes from my parents and even though the holidays just passed, I’m going to dinner with them Friday night. Just depends on your relationship with them as they grow up. A lot of my friends are close with their moms and regularly see them.
I live in a different country now but I call my parents every Sunday (well most Sundays) and chat with them over text from time to time over the week.
I feel I’m generally close to both of my parents than my colleagues/friends in the US.
I have a mom tattoo. Let’s me reduce contact by at least 30% with no negative impact

My bf talks to his parents almost daily on the phone. Sees them every week or every other. We live in Manhattan and they live in Queens. It’s not weird or bad at all; in fact, I love how close he is to his mom and how he takes care of her. It translates to how he cares for me. I love his parents and they love me too. He’s kind of a unicorn. ☺️
