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
7 hours from my Dad, unfortunately, and 7.5 hours from my in-laws. Most likely 9 hours from my Mom, but that’s only if I trust the rumors. Still keeping the doors locked, just in case.
