[quote=Anonymous]Mine are so needy because my siblings didn't have children. And because my parents didn't die in their 60s like their parents did (I'm glad for that, just stating how it's changed in a generation). When your kids are the only grandkids on both sides, it puts A LOT of pressure on the kids to perform on every holiday. I wish our siblings would have kids, but as we enter our 40s I don't think it's happening. I was 1 of 16 grandchildren, DH was similar. We weren't a precious commodity or a prop. There were enough of us to go around that someone always was baking cookies with grandma and having a concert she could attend. [/quote]
