Do your relatives ask many sincere questions about your life, your work, your school?

Oh, sure they ask about me - but I don't like sharing with them. They don't deserve to know because like another poster mentioned, it's simply to fuel their nosiness. No one genuinely cares about each other in my extended family. It's always a silent competition about who's kid got a hot job, who got the pay raise and how they can win the never ending status battle.
