Is there anyone else without an extended family and does it make you sad?

It is seriously just me, the hubby, and the kids. I know that I should be grateful that we are all together, but I feel so lonely and like we're missing out.
The thing that gets me the most is around holidays when everywhere they show big happy (or not so happy) family gatherings with aunts, uncles, cousins, etc. 馃槙 Anyone else in a similar situation?

My Parents died when I was a kid.. I know all about the void of family. It's also uncomfortable being in that environment now though!

@TymeKeeper: I actually did!
It was just someone who wrote: "I live on a rock."
I didn't think it was a useful reply to a serious question and I thought it was disrespectful to leave it there since others answered openly and shared their feelings in an honest way.

Yeah, so it makes sense that he's living on a rock... 馃槀馃槀馃槀
