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?

For the record, micro.blog is my favorite social network. And I wish all the cool people would ditch FB, Twitter, et al. and come join the fun at MB. However, for the time being, I’ll still keep my cross-posted tendrils out in Mastodon, Bluesky, etc…mainly in the hopes of luring more people to MB!
Testing to make sure cross-posting from micro.blog to Bluesky works!
I’m now on Bluesky. Who else is there? bsky.app/profile/j…
