Hello wondered if you could help me with a problem. I wondered how you go about seeing your family? A very random question .... I will try and explain My mum re married when I was younger. So I now have a step family. I would say even with my blood family , like alot of my Aunts and Uncles we don't see very much (a few times a year) of each other.
I kind of feel it is even harder to make contact with my step family even though we have been a family for 30 years.
I kind of got the view that I am bothering people to just arrive and visit or call and say I want to visit. I am always there for special occasions to see them if things like a wedding or funeral or Birthday party takes place.
Today though I have been told off by a step Granparent for not going to visit them. (but I have never been invited)
Maybe I should of posted this in Aibu but for me I have loads of family (I guess I am lucky at this time in my life) and some I am close to and we see each other regularly like mates (Mum and Dad included) some I am not very close to.
How do you go about visiting your family? Do you wait for an invite or would it be better manners on my part to invite myself as I should see them. I am slighly confused.
Please help!
