ive been living with my family all my life. weve been through ups and downs, hard times, sad times, happy or gloomy moments... most times i feel gloomy being with them bcuz of my dads constant nagging and endless dissing and fussing,.but when i try living on my own, i miss them and still end up going home. its like theres nowhere to go. are you happy living with your family? what are your happy unforgettable moments that you recall?

I miss my family and yes like you I've developed a love and hate relationship with them, but I can't imagine myself staying away too long from them without seeing them once a week. I just love them so despite the odds and ends in our life!

We are staying with family from birth. We do not see any reason to leave the home and go stay far off. We generally share lot of things in family and so like to stay at home. Sweet home, in fact.

Hi, Very interesting topic...I miss my family alot.How I wish I can fly back and see my family now. And I also wish I can move back to my hometown and stay near my family.Can I? of course, no, because I am married and have my own family,but the main problem, I am married to an overseas man,so I am staying far away from my family. I am glad that due to high technology, I am able to keep in touch with my parents and siblings easily. Using interner, we can chat on spot and even can hear and see each other via webcam. But that kind of MISS feeling is still there. I miss my family and food over at my hometown. I remembered when I was 18 years old, I decided to go overseas for further study. that was my first time stay far away from home and I was crying the whole night..miss my family.But since it was my decision to study overseas,so I have to stay strong and till now, I have been staying away from my family for more than 15 years. During my stay in overseas, I got to be independent and make my own decision for my life. lastly, I got married and settle down at my husband's hometown, I am still far away from my home and family. I will pay my parents and siblings a visit at least once a year.

There's no place like home.. Friends comes and goes in our lives, but no matter what, through thick and thin, family is always there...they say blood is thicker than water, and i truly believe that..... I have six sons and another one coming next year, a big family i guess. Just imagine having them growing so fast...LOL! No matter what we go through in our day to day lives, by the end of the day, we stick together as a whole bonded by blood, affection, trust and faith..

Hi dear, Whenever we live with our parents, it is a group and there may be many members. I such time we may not get special attention or consideration from others. Even though our parents like us, they may not express it towards us. In fact they really love us and I had those experiences. When I lived together with family members, it was a mixed feelings and there were good and bad times due to various reasons. But my father and mom loved us (5 children) very much. When I think of those days now, I feel cry and feel so happy as well. So, if you have parents, please visit them, they will really love you. Visit them with a gift and smile and spend some time with them by sharing your past experience. They may love you still more. Thank-s

We only realize value of things once we lost it. And missing all the things that you want to avoid because you are used to it. You are now living at your own,so you missed all the things that you are used to. It's a natural feeling because you loved your family. I am happy with my family. It's not a perfect one,we also had the ups and downs. We face trials but we never gave up. We've been into situation that we are so down,in those sad moments,,but we keep holding on to each other. Now that we have family of our own,we missed each other's company. So,each time we had the chance of being together,we don't want to end the day. We should always value every second we spent with our loved ones. We never knew if we would still be seeing each other the second time. Have a great weekend

Being with family creates so many memories. some of them are wonderful and some are filled with sorrow. We caan't choose what memories will be made with family. We just have to take it as it comes and enjoy each other!
