I have three sons, they live in the West Coast, I live in the Midwest. I can't join a family with them. That's a bummer.

Why not? My Steam Family is just a group of friends spread out all across the country. Geographic distance shouldn't be an issue.

They're doing IP location checks, and they're doing them badly (there's not really a way to do them well). It's not working for me with people in the same town, and other people are reporting it's randomly working or not working with locations in the same neighborhood.
