Realizing that almost all of our friends with kids have family nearby. Meanwhile, we’re 3.5hrs or more away from family… Do/did you live close to family when raising kids? Did it make a difference?

It does make a difference, for sure. Our kids nearest grandparents are a thousand miles away. Babysitting is a huge expense for us and we very (very) rarely get a night kid free. Which is okay. But it's a vastly different experience than those with grandparents they're on good terms with nearby.
