My Son-in-law was telling us how close a family he comes from. After he married our daughter, we found out why they were so "close"!
It turns out that the family get-togethers at least every two weeks are spear-headed by his mother! His mother called and administered extreme guilt if he didn't attend everyone's bithday parties.
To make peace, my daughter and husband agreed to attend only one family party per month. His mother cried when she got that news! That's why I mentioned that many so-called 'close' families are often guilt driven.
