[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]White people?  Very common.   No one wants to inconvenience themselves. And when you are socializing there is a lot of inconvenienceing yourself.

Imagine how hard it is when you are hosting a dinner. All the work that goes in it.

I think you should create a WhatsApp group or something and then try and get a reunion going. Maybe you will get some interest.  Even if 2 families want to get together, you should do it. [/quote]

Anyone who moves more than a hour from their childhood home for work or school or a spouse has to is to manage.

We don’t all live 5-20 minutes from Ma, Grandma and Great Gma. Or in the same multigenerational home for decades. Maybe in Texas? Keep passing the house down and never leave the state or city? [/quote]

I’m a native and I have met so many others that also grew up in DC or Arlington/Alexandria, MoCO.  A lot of us left for a bit but came back to DC area for work.  My kids have several generations of Dc families at their school.  So many alumni have kids attending, and grandparents are often at events.

I get for those that grew up in small towns or areas of the country with no jobs—but Dc area has lots of tech, biotech, govt, etc.  Huge job market.

Bfd.

People from any state or city could say the same. They returned to their hometown on purpose: they picked a regional grad school there on purpose. They moved to where one or both sets of grandparents are.

Some people move.  Some people never move.  Others are in the middle.  Tomato tomahto.[/quote]

Read the thread. It was in response to only people in Texas stay near family (this was pointing out that’s ridiculous):

“We don’t all live 5-20 minutes from Ma, Grandma and Great Gma. Or in the same multigenerational home for decades. Maybe in Texas? Keep passing the house down and never leave the state or city?”[/quote]

Many people are close to them families and it “estranged” yet live miles away.  Come on, it’s 2023. [/quote]
