[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.

I'm a native as well but not white. We don't have that much extended family here unfortunately. [/quote]
