I love hanging out with my family - it helps that I only see them once every couple of years since I live an ocean away.
I'm going 'home' this summer for about a month... we'll see how I feel about them afterwards
I'm the only one that ever left to live somewhere else, so I'm kind of an exotic novelty when I show up. Nobody takes my opinions or attitude serious because they know I'll leave again soon - its actually quite perfect, I highly recommend it.
My family here in the US is its own little unit and we get to make our own 'extended' family with friends we pick...
