      I’m the last male with our last name in the family. At a extended family gathering for Christmas, they all asked me when I was going to have kids. “Yeah no” i laughed. A lot of dirty looks to that response!

        I was planning to be child free and was the last male.i always said I was ending the line. Then I met my wife who wanted kids and since I love her I changed my mind. Now I have two girls so mission accomplished technically.

    I have the feeling that a lot of people romantisie being the “dont talk about” part of the family but dont actually are ready to be what it takes to be a shamed member.

    I had a coworker who was related to the Van Tassel family and said that rumors of witchcraft have been passed down through the generations.
