[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you have people in your life close enough for you to consider “chosen family”? We have a family we’ve been close to for decades that we vacation with. It has a “cousins roam around together” vibe and keeps my only from feeling lonely. Another option is resorts with kid programming that keeps kids together.[/quote]That works for a while but IME and observation it doesn’t last.[/quote]

Neither do cousins. DH and I both have a dozen cousins each. We rarely see them at all. I vacationed a bit with mine as a kid, but think family camping - we did resort trips on our own because of income disparity between the families.

I'm currently on vacation with my only child. We were supposed to travel with her young cousin but they had to cancel. I was sad for a minute but it has been an awesome vacation and we did a lot more activities than we would have with a much younger person in tow. [/quote]

DP - IME cousins can come back even after periods of less contact.  The "chosen family," not so much.  Once that season is over, it's over.[/quote]
