[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a hit or miss really. I too wanted to have a large family. My mother raised me by herself, I have no siblings, she has no siblings. And in comes my DH with 5 siblings, many cousins, lots of distant relatives. On the surface it all looks well. We all take great family pictures. But you scratch the surface - so much jealousy, trauma, competitiveness, lying. Our DCs told us was the only time they enjoyed holiday weekends was during COVID. They did not have to deal with the relatives. It pains me, I really tried. So be careful what you wish for. [/quote] Describes my extended family as well. From what I have seen a large family which gets along spends a lot of time together early in life, has a large amount of money, educated parents, with both parents prioritizing family. They mostly live near each other. Even with all this, I have seen large families fragment after the death of the parents.[/quote]
