[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Absolutely - born, raised and literally went to school with them, within a five minute walk to each other's houses.  Also, their children our actually our children's ages, one within a week, and the biggest gap is three years. <3

DH doesn't even know his cousins, and there is a 30 (!!!) year difference with most of them. Completely different experience, sadly. [/quote]

I grew up around the world and didn’t spent much time with cousins. Instead, I have lived in many different places, speak several languages (am conversant in a few more) and have dear, close friends who are my chosen family. I think my life is incredibly for having grown up this way than staying in the same town, same school, with cousins down the street, and my spouse and I are raising our children in a similar lifestyle.

I could feel sorry for your kids that they are growing up in such a staid environment, but that would be an unfair value judgement. One is not better than the other. Just different.[/quote]
