[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Extended family supporters what culture are you from? Spefics. [/quote] I’m one. I’m a white American in my 40’s with teens. My husbands family is huge and very very close. My family is small and not close and nobody puts forth any effort to get together. When I first met him, it seemed strange to me how much effort the extended family put in to see each other but I quickly learned it doesn’t feel like effort to them. They have so much fun all together that they want to do it. But in order to “want” to do it, you have to have that closeness in the first place. The amount of joy this brings my teens is hard to describe. If I told them they had to choose between Europe, Hawaii or a trip to see their first and second cousins, they’d choose the costumes without hesitation. It is such a blessing to our family and it was a completely strange and foreign concept to me when I met DH. [/quote]
