[quote=Anonymous]I can certainly relate OP. We don’t have much extended family- and the family we do have lives across the country and we are in good terms but not super close. We see them about twice/yr. More people are in this situation than you think.. For holidays, we create our own traditions. For some, we travel. Others, we do things like a nice brunch out etc. We have not had any major emergencies (fortunately) but when the kids were small we had a couple of very trusted sitters (adults) who we could’ve called upon first. Otherwise, our friends. Now that the kids are older (tweens and a teen)- they can stay home alone or go to a friend’s house if needed. Otherwise, our friends. For anything extensive, we’d hire help. We hire pet sitters etc when we travel. We do have friends who would help out in a pinch (and we do the same) but generally everyone is busy…most rely on family (if they have it) or hired help.
