[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 47502, member: 1697"] Sadly, my mom was young enough to be gramma, but had no interest,(she never once babysat at all, not even one time- not even when husband had a heart attack and I had a miscarriage at same time) and my sibs have no interst (except my youngest brother) of being aunts or uncles. My husband has no family, he was an only child as were his parents and his parents died before our kids were born. So- we have been on our own all my kids lives. We muddle thru...... I would love to say we gather with friends, but, sad truth is I worked so many hours for so many years, and my friends have been dying off at an alarming rate, and with working, then being so ill and taking care of my ill husband, and the kids, I never did manage to make enough time to nurture more friendships. SO- for many holidays we do volunteer service or spend our time with ourself- me, husband and the kids, or just me and the kids if husband is too symptomatic. It is quite different from how I grew up- surrounded always by aunts uncles and cousins, but- we make do. [/QUOTE]
