Side-related but it's one thing probably easier to add to a culture of extended family (where several generations stick together and live under the same roof etc). Not so much in Western countries where nuclear family has become the norm and we basically consider "external" or indeed "extended (family)" our parents as much as our future grand children, you know, on a day-to-day basis. The real links are stronger and more persistent than that it seems.
