Your parents can also be the most wonderful, easy-going, caring people the word but it still gets really old, really fast living with them or spending several days a week with them over the years. It also seems super illogical you would constrain yourself to one geographical place in the world based on what your parents thought was a good place to live, not based on what you actually want. That sounds stifling to me.
Distance also makes family relationships more meaningful, not less. My parents, grandparents, and siblings all live in different states or countries thousands of miles away. We still plan vacations and meetups and holidays each year, we talk on the phone, online, etc, so the idea I’ll only see them X times before they die don’t add up.
