[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here.  Just remember that things aren’t always what they appear to be.  Sometimes these seemingly picture perfect large family gatherings are filled with stress, arguments and people who are counting down the seconds until they can get home to their own space.

I have a bother who I’m not very close with, and because of this, our DD barely knows her cousins.  We’ve realized these large family vacations aren’t likely in the cards for us either as my DH is an only child.  We still go on great vacations and are giving out DD the best memories that we can, but I understand the feeling of missing out.[/quote]

This. Most likely some of those people were envious of your freedom. The friends I know who do this or used to hated it, yet still posted on social media these beautiful extended family photos from the vacation. Those that broke free dealt with a lot of drama and guilt trips. I find I am a lot happier when I appreciate all that I have and focus on that.[/quote]
