[LotR] I'm one of the Rangers of the North/Dunedain- what would have my life been like growing up/when I'm not being a ranger? What would interacting with my fellow rangers have looked like when I'm not out Rangering?

The Rangers/Dunedain aren't just a club of neighborhood watch enthusiasts, but an actual society with customs, traditions- and presumably families. My question is, what would life would have been like for these Rangers outside of their Ranging? I know they didn't really have any major settlements (though they might have some association with Elrond/Rivendell if Aragorn is any indication, but he's one of their elite), but presumably they had some sort of social life and didn't bring the wee ones to go orc hunting before their single digits.

They lived in small, out-of-the-way villages, far from other significant settlements and major travel routes. You're right that only the line of Chieftains were fostered in Rivendell. If memory serves their homes were mainly in the Angle between the rivers Bruinen (Loudwater) and Mitheithel (Hoarwell), some distance south of there, although of course the adult men were away from home as often as not.

They were accustomed to marrying later, since they were of pure Numenorean blood and very long-lived. The men customarily held off marrying until they had spent some time on the job, so to speak, and the women would not marry until their 30s or older. The upbringing would have involved a good deal of education in history, various arts and sciences and other lore, and martial training.
