Extended families include both first- and second-degree relatives and can include grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. Traditional definitions of extended family indicate that the family share a dwelling, but members can live in the same neighborhood or in relatively close proximity to one another. The time that an extended family spends together depends not only on geographic closeness to one another but also on family customs.
