[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The stuff about extended family makes me sad. I was not blessed to be able to give this to my kids, despite me trying. My mom is unstable, my dad is far away and kind of narcissistic, my FIL is a pain in the ass. MIL is good though. No cousins as siblings didn’t have kids. Wahhhhhhhh[/quote] For everyone who is sad about the extended family thing, I grew up with two parents who were only children and I only had one living grandparent who lived far away. But my parents had very close couple friends with kids and our families did everything together. Growing up, we even referred to them as aunts and uncles. And it was wonderful. We now live far from our families, so we've worked really hard to build the same kind of relationship with our close friends with kids. [/quote]
