Does anyone live far away from relatives?
Hi all!!
Just a bit of noseyness/worry really.
I live really far away from all of my relatives and although geographically we're close to OHs family we're not all that close (more like its not that kind of family)
Are you all planning on leaning on your families alot? Is that your childcare and support for when you are tired?
Im just a bit worried we're being silly by wanting to have a family with little to no support network..but then again things aren't going to change so we'd never have kids if that was the plan.
Thanks ladies

Sorry this probably doesn't help you but shows others are in the same boat

I was just a bit worried incase it was selfish of me, or if it was really stupid, but you really have given me hope.
My friend and her Mum dont get on-and when Gran does see the babies she always says things like Oh i wouldnt discipline them like that, so i guess its best if im not around that all the time!!!

My mum lives over 100 miles away and my brother (not much help anyway) lives about the same in a different direction. My OH's parents live closeby, both works though and they also have their first grandchild due early next year so think they'll be focused on that one (maybe for the best).
I do have some great friends that I can rely on though
