I suffer from Big Family Syndrome.
No, that's not an actual scientific term. It might even be the first time you've heard these three words spoken together.
But I assure you, it's something that most Asian Baby Boomers and Gen Xers (like myself) can relate to.
I grew up with a huge extended family. And by huge, I'm talking about enough aunts, uncles, cousins, nephews, and nieces to fill a town hall.
My father had 14 siblings while my mom had nine. All but four married and went on to have kids of their own. Just remembering the names of each of my aunts and uncles was a challenge when I was growing up. It made every family gathering feel like a midterm exam.
