That’s why God gave us extended families. It’s only been the last generation or so that thought it is a good thing to scatter across globe in pursuit of more stuff. Most of the important things aren’t things.

Too true; without the in-laws it would have been very difficult to raise our children. The wife works part-time (so the kids can get to school and back), but that wouldn’t have been possible when they were younger. I’d rather be poor than have a stranger watch our children; I’m already poor enough with the wife work part-time (and I wouldn’t have it any other way).
You got it!
