That you should constantly stay in touch and in each others' lives no matter how seldom we actually see each other or how little we have in common. I don't believe this. I don't believe I should stay in touch with people whom I share nothing in common, see once a decade, just because they're family. I'm going with the family I choose, and the family I care to see more often. Everyone in my family believes that family should be close.

I don’t believe this. I don’t believe I should stay in touch with people whom I share nothing in common, see once a decade, just because they’re family.

I’m going with the family I choose, and the family I care to see more often.

I live pretty far away from my next-of-kins (brother and sister 1,000 miles away, daughter a 5-hour round trip drive). Maybe if I saw them more often I'd think of things to fuss about, but probably because I don't, I don't. There was a recent news story about a woman who reconciled her differences with her sister after several years of not speaking. Then, the sister went off on a hiking trip and disappeared. The woman says that now, when she hears of family disputes, she thinks they should just be glad they are still alive and forget about the fussing and anger. No disagreements that I know of.
