It seems as if the only relationship that is valued by americans is friends and marriage. And maybe parent-child, while the kids are still kids, once they become adults even thats taken for granted.
In adulthood many americans are so distant from their own parents and siblings. Whats up? Why are americans so desperate to get their siblings and parents out of their life so they can have a "life of their own"? I mean in India aunts are considered second mothers and our brothers and sisters are always welcome in our home even after we're grown up and married. In america on the other hand siblings have their "own" families. Isn't it common knowledge that siblings, even in adulthood, when they are married, are of the same family?
So why are Americans so cold towards their own family? Why the obsession with breaking away?
