Ever go to a movie on Xmas or Thanksgiving instead of going to a family dinner?

14. We have so much cultural stuff

regarding big families. Not that three kids is even "big". My father had seven siblings. I had two. My mother had none. In some ways she had the worst deal. Her dad ran off with the dance teacher and ended up committing suicide.

But family or no, people are just people. I have cousins with 10 kids (of my generation) in their family and thick or thin, good or bad they stick together. A great family culture, which I always point out, and they're tired of my saying it.
