[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I understand, OP. My family has also shrunk dramatically and I’m sad that my children won’t experience the big family holidays that I did. Now, it’s just my husband, 2 kids, my Dad who’s in declining health, and my widowed MIL. Growing up, my grandparents house was the center of the universe - tons of aunts, uncles, cousins with people spilling out of the house onto the porch, and kids running everywhere. Life has really changed and I don’t think I’m handling it well. I miss the good old days. [/quote] [b]This was because people didn't move away from where they grew up. Now it's normal for people to move and maybe even abroad. The family structure has also changed.[/b] [/quote] People moving away as adults is probably the worst societal change that has happened. I predict we will soon start seeing a lot of lonely senior citizens. [/quote]
