[quote=Anonymous]This is sort of mine, on my father’s side. He comes from a large Irish Catholic family. My grandparents on his side died in the mid-90s by the time I started kindergarten. He has approximately 7 siblings. I am in my early 30s. One of his siblings, let’s call him G, has three adult children in their late 40s living across the U.S. I have only ever met one of G’s kids. Another one of his siblings, T, I didn’t meet until a few years ago when he moved back to my parents’ hometown. T has three adult sons, an ex-wife and at least 9 grandchildren, all of whom I’ve never met. A third sibling, let’s call her J, married into a very, very wealthy family. I have only met her & her husband (my uncle) and their kids once when I was a toddler. I see the families of my dad’s other four siblings at least 3 times a year and know those cousins well.

My mom has two siblings and both are childfree. I have a second cousin who ironically was born the same month & year I was through her family, but only met her as a child. I have two siblings. [/quote]
