[quote=Anonymous]Hi, this is OP again.

One PP made a very good point. PP  suggested that my extended family -  meaning my aunts, uncles, cousins and cousins' kids - don't know me well enough for me to appear on their radar because I left my hometown a long time ago.

I left my hometown in 1995 when I was 27 years old. Most of my relatives still live there, apart from some cousins who now live overseas.

When I left, in 1995, my cousins ages were (if I remember correctly) 5, 12, 17, 21, 22, 23 and 24. Some were still kids, others were at college, and others had started their first job after getting their degree. 
There is one other cousin who is a lot older than me. She was 45 when I left my hometown.

My aunts and uncles know me better than my cousins do.

I go back and visit my hometown every 3-4 months (less frequently during the pandemic). I try and see my aunts and uncles when I visit. I hardly see my cousins and their kids because they have busy jobs, hobbies that take up time, etc.
