[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH has family in Ohio, mine are in California. We see each side once per year. DS is the only grandchild on either side, so no cousins. We have created "family" here. Our neighbor has stepped in as "grandma", my bet friend is "aunt", his former nanny is another aunt, her daughter is like a babysitting older cousin...it's not the same, but it actually fills the void pretty well :)[/quote] I'm the PP who wrote about also having no family in the area and having difficulty building community. I would love to find "family" here like you mention you have, but I haven't been able to find this at all. How did you go about building community with the neighbor who is like the grandma, friend who is like the aunt, etc. I feel like everyone we meet here has their own lives, their own local family, is just too busy, and is not really interested in being family friends like this. Would like to hear how you built this community. Thanks![/quote]
