My family has 7 people. We rarely confide together. We have just sit and chat happily together on holiday or Sunday. When we go to work or school away from each other, we rarely communicate with each other. But if anyone can talk tough, we all help each other focus. If not, everyone is trying to solve their own problems before someone else. I often think, other families like my family.
When I married, I realized that my husband's family is completely different with my family. My husband usually call his parents every other day. If not, they will call him. He has a married elder sister and her family lived with our parents. If they need money or struggling with something, they usually call my husband instead of thinking how to deal with before.
This really is a big difference between the two families that I realize and feel in harmony.

That is the same way here. My family does try to get together and talk sometimes but all of us have our own lives and we work seven days a week here in my household.

Yes all families are different from each other. In my culture it is normal for us to think of family first before going outside and asking others for the help. Although times are different and yes we do try to find all avenues to be able to try and fix whatever issues we are having first before we resort to asking family for any help.
As for communication on a daily basis, yes that differs as well between families. For instance I could not stand not communicating with my kids for days on end where I find that others can go on for weeks at a time without communicating. I do have family I have not spoken to in a very long time, and not because I want to be mean, it is just how it has been for as long as I can remember. I guess it is what is comfortable for one another and or how they were raised or accustomed to.

Why ur separating ur family with ur husband family. Its also ur family ur mother in law is there. And ur sister in law has some problem so ur husband should cure that and u too should help for them. Before married womens keeps compromising after getting married they always like to get separated alone with their husband .
