I'm not saying that you have to have family around to turn out alright; plenty of folks make it work.
We don't have much "family you create yourself" either, which I know is very different for you where you live. We /do/ have people we care for very much, but not the "take my kid overnight because I have a wedding to go to" kind for sure.
It is exceedingly important to me for my child to have a relationship with her grandparents if at all possible.
