[quote=Anonymous]ONLY relatives in my family and extended family.  Traditionally, the family just doesn't value friendships in the same way.  (Italian background.)  On some level it's tougher to impose on people you aren't related to, and in this family, it's kind of expected that you will impose and will hurt feelings if you don't ask someone to (help you move, install a wood floor, change a toilet out).  Also, evidence shows that even the best friendships kind of peter out and people go their own ways.  I know not everyone is like that, just my extended family.

Funny, but it kind of reminds me of the time when one of the Sopranos tried to go into an honest business with a non-family member (if memory serves it was the family member who just came out of jail and they wanted him to stay straight), and he ended up killing his business partner and when he and Tony were cleaning up the mess, one or the other said:  "it's really hard doing business with non-family" or something like that.
