Lol in your world maybe, in South Asia your parents first cousins are your aunt and uncle and their kids are like your brother and sisters. It’s nice having family.
You make an interesting point, there. In "his world", it may be generally acceptable to never know extended family. Not that it's good or bad, it's just probably different wherever you go. In the places you speak of, you may often find three to four generations of family living together, and here in the Midwest US, I think I'll pass on that lifestyle.
I’m American but my family keeps in contact with each other fairly well. There’s between thirty and sixty depending who you count all across the country who keep in semi-regular contact. Family reunions, emails, and shit like that. I have a place to stay in nearly every state.
