I am my kids and my family are my whole life. I don't think my mother's, my parents still alive, my father passed away. They did not try to actively be a part of my life. My wife, on the other hand, came from a close-knit family, close-knit extended family. She has made me see, especially as the kids get older, that you have to put in the work. Don't helicopter parent and don't nag in this and that but stay in touch, be in contact.
