[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m an only child and DH has a sibling who never got married. We have 2 kids. We went to a resort with just the 4 of us and I noticed a lot of families with extended families (adult siblings, lots of kids who were presumably cousins), I started feeling sad that my kids won’t have first cousins, and we’ll never get to experience these types of get togethers where our kids roam around with their cousins and it’s more than just DH and me.

Anyone felt like this before and how did you overcome this feeling?[/quote]

No matter how big a family is, that doesn't mean people will be close or want to spend time together.

I'm an only child and DH has 2 brothers. We have 3 sons and my BILs each have 3 kids (5 boys, 1 girl). We all live fairly local but there was a falling out between DH's oldest brother and their parents so my kids don't know their kids at all. My kids have seen my other BIL's sons maybe 15 times in 20 years. DH and BIL don't really mesh all that well so we hardly get together.
