[quote=Anonymous]Agree it’s a variety of factors. For my family: Numbers. There are 5 of us kids, 14 grandkids Really functional parents who raised us all to be kind, humble, family-loving adults without too much emotional baggage Nobody is really crazy. Some of my siblings are kind of crazy, but nobody really digs in or holds grudges A parent being sick and dying when we were all young adults - kept us close at the time we were all spreading our wings An instigator/planner. Someone who takes the reigns and plans stuff We’re not close in age (there’s a 10 year gap between some of us) or that close geographically (90 min to 8 hour dives apart) but vacation together, have big family parties, etc. There are phases of closest though. I did a lot with my family when my kids were little and think I’ll see more of them when we’re all empty nesters, but these years with teenagers make it harder to get together. [/quote]
