[quote=Anonymous]I grew up in a very small family (no siblings, one grandparent, rarely if ever saw cousins). I married into a big family (multiple siblings, lots of cousins). Like everything in life, there are pros and cons to both. We just did a vacation to Europe with the three of us (me, H, kid) and it was awesome. Easy, enjoyable, no drama. I love my ILs and am seeing most of them next month for a family reunion. I can already tell you what will happen: People will argue over food/meals/how to cook something. People will argue about the best way to drive somewhere (one person always insists they know better than GPS no matter where we are). My MIL will want to do something for a photo opportunity that no one wants to do which creates tension. And the cousins will argue about video games or something which will carry over to the younger cousins and inevitably someone will cry. So those vacations, while mostly enjoyable, are never easy or drama free. You just have to adjust expectations.[/quote]
