[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You want your siblings to “worry” that their - checks notes - 35 year old children are not married?

Your siblings must be around 60 yrs old…you don’t think they have more pressing matters to be worried about?? (Health, meds, parents, retirement, whether to downsize/relocate)…I think you are the only one who wants to worry about their marriage prospects. I feel like I’m in Pride & Prejudice reading this…[/quote]

In my family - all of my  siblings worry about our parents, each other's lives, our extended family (spouse side of the family) and the well being and success of our nieces and nephews.  We have been successful only because we all are standing with each other.  
And no, they are most unhappy about the fact that their children are not well settled and married. [/quote]

Family enmeshment has its pros and cons.[/quote]

Agreed.  And we have only seen the pros till now.  We all are good at boundaries too. [/quote]
