One side of the family I could do this with. And they would be supportive I imagine. But the other side I would not want to. They would only be condescending and overly annoying in their reactions. I don't want to be pitied and treated like some fragile doll in the presence of "their success", I know very well that's the reaction I would get out of them. Thanks for the support though!
