[quote=Anonymous]Money-- specifically a willingness to pay for those who can't afford it, or to plan things that work for everyone. SAHMs, early retirement, and jobs that allow remote or a lot of time off. Cultural similarity within the family and those who marry in, or at least a lot of tolerance for differences of lifestyle and opinion. Not a lot of divorces or other family difficulties that can cause stress or tension. No visible addictions or disruptive mental illnesses. Not having some outlier person that everyone dislikes. No teens or stepkids being difficult or not wanting to be there. My DH's family does this, and it happens because his mom plans it and figures it all out, and because his sister has a lake house and she's nice enough to invite everyone there. All the adults want it to work, and all the kids are well-behaved and get along, so it works. But it's very easy to see how little it takes to make this not work.[/quote]
