So this just came to mind, since it's kind of related.

My wife's family recently did another round of "family cookbook" reprints, since her sister died earlier this year and reminded the older generation of their own mortality, so they better make their additions and pass it on.

My wife did not receive one. The reason? "well you didn't have kids, so it's not like you can pass it on"

Due to genetic disorders, she decided to make sure she couldn't have kids. The doctor that performed the TL asked her about it in his opening small talk, "but you're so young!" then he opened her file, started reading, and apologized.

Her mother and remaining sister agreed with the decision and refuse to give her a copy.

Family is toxic and pointless. I don't know why people subject themselves to it as adults.

I'm talking about extended family, beyond your adult household.

Some families are stocked with reasonably pleasant people

Her family made me appreciate my own SO much more.
