Move to Long Island which is where I grew up but am not really fond of but will be 15-20 minutes away from my mother and will have her help at moments notice anytime I want OR move to Westchester which I really like and would prefer to live but be an hour plus from mother and would still have her help but not neccessarily at a moments notice and it wouldn't be nearly as easy?

- #1. MIL just came down from Rockland county to help out for a week and it was a pain.

- how funny-I have been facing the exact same situation. Grew up on LI and cannot stand it. Love CT, but feel that being close to family is more important and that if we have a happy life on LI, the things that bother me about it won't seem as important. As they say "life is not a dress rehersal" and I want to be close to my parents so they can enjoy day to day life with us instead of having to "come visit". That said I am desperately trying to stay in NYC where I have the best of all worlds. GL.

- I would do #2- because it would make me happier- it's not like you are moving to the west coast- I'm kind of stuck in situation #1- but live 10 blocks from my in-laws and 40 minutes from my mother- I'm dying to move to the west coast- but we put roots down in NYC- so it's hard for us to move now but we are re-thinking things- you live one life, be happy-
