[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Close knit, close knit, close knit! We had money, high achievement, and misery. Neither my brother nor I live anywhere near my parents, and we aren't close to anyone in the family. My cousins? Very little money, moderate achievement. Such a happy family. I've been jealous my whole life. Rather have both, of course, but if I had to choose ...[/quote] It is not that simple. You know that, right? Often, there is jealousy, in close knit OR high achieving families. I do not think they are mutually exclusive, OP. Some people spend every waking moment with their families, to their detriment of their own success, perhaps. That said, I have both on my side; and in DH's family, DH is the high achieving one. It causes problems, mostly with DH's mother, as DH could not marry anyone she would get along with - unless DH married spmeone exactly like her (a scary thought)! Instead, he married her opposite - so that tells you something! :) [/quote]
