    The Netherlands is so individualistic that family bonds are becoming less strong. I haven’t seen my cousins (except one) in a coupke of years. One of them has a one year old child which I’ve never seen. It doesn’t help that we all live in different parts of the country, but still I feel like this wouldn’t happen in communist countries

      My family is kinda the same but in Mexico. Idk i’ve never felt any bonds with them and we lived in a small town. This is particularly noticeable on petit bourgeois families and above, meanwhile families from a poor background are much more united.

      Really the amount of rich families i’ve seen getting torn apart because of property issues is kinda funny. And they are the most vocal supporters of family first slogans.
