[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][OP:  You’re very right that the littlest one is not going to remember, so I am doing it more for me.   I want to nurture a close relationship between the kids, the cousins and grandparents.  Is it considered frantic socializing in DC to see family and friends once a week on Sat and Sun (any given individual is visited only once a month or so, except one cousin for play dates)?  DH is an introvert and would always prefer to see no one but us (immediate family = kids and me).  In States south of DC, you just spend your time with family. Honest question—I’m not being obnoxious. [/quote]

From what I’ve observed, Sunday dinner at the parents house with siblings and kids plus birthdays, holidays and vacation together is someone that sees their family a decent amount here.  Then there are grandparents that help out, so you see them at carpoool pickup and they also come to school play, sports, etc.  I would say those people are close to their family. There is isubtext around time, money, health of parents, no one sibling feeling like it all falls on them or that conversely no one ever comes to them, that the spouse of the person near the parents still feeels like the primary unit etc that people have to figure out/make work.[/quote]
