I grew up around a large extended family and now live in a large metro away from anyone I’m related to other than my wife and kids.
I wish my kids could grow up like I did but my siblings don’t look like they’re having kids soon and neither do my wife’s siblings.
But, I feel so sad for my children when it’s just us on Christmas. It feels lonely because growing up, Christmas always had like 20 people.
We’ve thought about moving back closer to my family now that I work remotely but my wife is from a different part of the country and that makes it tougher because it would take us further from her family. She’s also from the city (not our current city) and doesn’t like the idea of living somewhere rural (she considers it rural, the metro we’d consider has 500k people though).
