[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m wondering how common it is to see large families that are completely estranged to very distant from each other. My husband has 3 siblings. None of them have seen or spoken to one another in five plus years. Apparently there was no falling out just not interested in each other/too busy in their own lives. They speak to their parents a few times a year but none of them have seen their parents in years even though they live an hour away. Multiple children/grandchildren have never seen their aunts/uncles and the grandparents have only ever seen 2 of the 8 grand children exactly once. One when was was 2 and another time when one child was already 5. The grandparents are not interested in seeing any of the grandkids and don’t want to be bothered with them. I was also told that the extended family is the same way and nobody really speaks to anybody. How common is this? [/quote]

I don't consider three children really large family but, I do believe it is common. What about your family?  Are you close?[/quote]
