[quote=Anonymous]This is absolutely normal. Even families sometimes hang out in smaller peer groupings. There are inner peer groups within families. For example, I have 2 aunts who are like sisters to me(they are much younger than my mother, and my mother raised them). From an outsider's perspective, I appear closer to one of them than the other. One of them has older children(she married young), and the other has younger children who connect well with my young children. For this reason, the one with younger children is usually at my place and vice versa. The one with older children does not mind -- she is in a different stage of life. All three of us are aware that this situation does not reflect how we feel about each other. It's just a matter of convenience. Maybe, it is just convenient for your "family" to hang out with the smaller families sometimes. It's not a big deal. It does not change anything. Find a few larger families to add to your close friends.[/quote]
