How do you feel about your near extended family (parents, siblings, in-laws, uncles, aunts, cousins)?

I'm close to my family and I genuinely enjoy it.

They're pretty good, in reasonable doses.

I don't really care either way.

The family is mostly a drag, but in spite of all the BS they're still family.
5 (9.6%)
Completely dysfunctional; the less I have to do with them the better.
2 (3.8%)
I don't have much of a family.

Of course, the situation is a bit different for apart from my one cousin none of the kids in my generation (in that group of 3 families) have any children.

You guys are still pretty young though right?

Yeah garbon, better get cracking on that ASAP.  ;)

Donate my sperm?

I sense a new business opportunity - a hookup service for gays and lesbians interested in having kids, via sperm donation. I'll make my fortune yet!  :hmm:

Or, one can adopt ...

Very different from my father's side of the family where my grandfather was also someones great great grandfather before he died in his 70s. :D

Doesn't that just require each person to have had a child by the time they were 18 - on average?

Just barely.  People were really getting after it for that to happen in your 70s.  Literally everybody would have to be having sex the minute they were legal.

I assume they started prior to 18 -_-

i cut out all the outer relatives on my mother's side, permanently. i may never visit my mother again once i've graduated, which wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. as for my father, i have to tolerate him because of his will. i don't feel a real connection there. i kinda like the outer family on my father's side, though  :)
