[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Xmas is a bit of a loaded holiday for a first time meeting.  I would suggest something after the holidays in guise of not being so busy / distracted / stressed out.

Sounds like your family doesn't communicate well; how much do you really want to stay connected to your Aunt?

While I have kids and in-laws I am only close to my twin sister in my nuclear family; I tried for a few years to connect to my Aunts (Dad's sisters) but ultimately came to realize they had / have their own lives.

I'm OK with that.

I vote for sticking with your friends.[/quote]

No we do not communicate well at all.

When I was 11 my mom handed me a one way ticket to go live with my dad who I last saw when I was 6! He was recently remarried for the 3rd time. I never went to any weddings for my dad. Didn't see or talk to my mom again til I  17 - when she finally called and told me she had been remarried (for a year) and vacationed to Florida (where I was at the time) for years. And her and her husband loved Florida spending months there (though she never reached out to me).

Every family is different!!! Some are suckier than others[/quote]
