You're way, way, way too needy, OP!

And your rambling post full of ridiculously unnecessary details brings that out even more.

Beware: if you make a big deal out of this, your kids will pick up on it and grow up to be just as paranoid and high-strung as you are.

The relatives are not interested. It's not a character flaw on their part! You can't force friendships.

Please just let it go and find your own social circle.

Good Lord.

I always put my kids first and have never spoken about this in front of them and never will.  The only person that knows how I truly feel is my spouse. If I come across as needy, so be it, but our family is close. This is how we were raised in our culture, so this distance is very much out of character. Cousin A also often says she wants ALL kids to hang out together. Is she needy too?[/quote]

She’s probably just being polite. For example, sometimes people say things like, “we should get coffee sometime,” but they don’t really intend to follow up. It’s not that different from, “we should do this more often,” or “of course the kids should play together like we did as children.”

Also, I haven’t read her posts lamenting how her family is rejecting her kids and asking for advice, so I’m guessing no, she’s not that needy. [/quote]

Cousin A doesn't need to post because her son is not being rejected. LOL, the things she will say or DO if what happens to my children ever happens to her or her son!!!  But, regardless, I know her, and she means it. It is part of our culture. [/quote]
