read my comments lmaoooo you were just unlucky with your theory.

If you wanna hear my opinion is that sure, family is kinda always there, but there isn't as much of a "doing it for you family". Sure I see my family once every two weeks and talk with my mother quite a lot, but there isn't much of an obligation to meet, you kinda meet if you wanna. Possibly after Franco's regime people were fed up with family traditions and expectations.

Having a family near doesn't mean its your priority, people here are very social and family is just another social circle, people my age and older 20s-30s kinda have given up of forming families due to economic stress, that could also be part of it.
