Not really talking about race. Do you feel like they are family? Why or why not? As much as FI's family likes me (and I like them), they will forever think I'm "weird" because I don't like pets. They just don't comprehend that some people don't care for pets. They are also different from my family as my family LOVES to dance and play card/board games non-stop. I like that his family is very relaxed and quiet and they are very close-knit.
