[quote=Anonymous]My Dad had a family of 12 and my Mother was an only child ... they had 8 children. My parents had 32 grandchildren at the time of their deaths and I can't even begin to count how many cousins I have, but I can say we are a very estranged family with almost no contact at all. A few of the grandchildren were in close proximity to my parents and they seemed to dote on them and that sibling and it was very clear who the favorites were, as it was in my immediate family. Neither of my parents had a clue on how to weave together a tight knit family that would span the generations. I miss my parents everyday (even though I was not in favorite category) but I literally know nothing about my siblings and their extended family. At some point I guess the drama and craziness from such a large family just destroyed any connection that existed. Sad, but you have to be able to create a strong family unit and my parents did not have a clue what they were getting into.[/quote]
