A lot of people want to be close to their parents when they’re raising kids. And vice-versa. The support, the babysitting, having the kids grow up with their grandparents and aunts and uncles. I know a lot of couples who once they started a family either moved back to their home city, or their parents moved across the country to be with them.

The Pietrangelos are currently living in the same community as her parents. If they move to Toronto, they’ll be living in the same community as his parents.
