If you have a sister or brother, ie, a Sibling-how often do they call?

Something that bothers me on a daily basis is the fact that, even on my birthday, my sister never calls me. I have one sibling; a little sister. It doesn't matter how old she becomes; she will always be my little sister. She lives very far away. And...she never calls. I leave messages...to no avail. I can't afford to visit her as she lives on the opposite end of the U.S. Everyday this depresses me, because we used to talk regularly. Recently, in the past 6-8 months, she moved to a bigger city and has been very busy with work. But, come on, can't she send a text message or something?

That is very stupid of her not to even send you a message or call,at least I think she should on your birthday..! I have a little sister too and we live in the same town and we see each other at least once a month and talk in telephone once in a while..I think your sister should care more about you,have you ever told her how you feel? Maybe you should say to her that you love her very much and that you want to have more contact with her?
I wish you good luck Best regards Stinto

Thank you for your comment Stinto. One time i sent her a pic of me lookin' sad and texted under it"it makes me sad when u don't call." She finally called that day.She said she thinks of me often, but is very busy. She hardly calls mom. I have to go thru mom to find out about my sister. I have this nagging feeling that I will never see her again. It's horrible, but I can't stop feeling that way.

I understand that you feel like that,I should too.Actually I have an older brother and he lives far away from me and I have been thinking lots of times that he doesn't want to have contact with me but he's a little of a hermit..hehe
Maybe your sister doesn't feel well?You say she's busy,does she have kids and a husband?How old is she?Unfortunately we are different and some people just want to be for themselves,I don't know about your sister if she is a little of a hermit too maybe??or maybe she IS just too busy to have contact with her family...hopefully she understands that one day when she needs you or your mum..

My brother rarely ever calls me - I talk to his ex-wife more than I talk to him!

You gotta realize something about life that its unpredictable. the person who is very close to in a flick of a second might move away from you.
What you need yo do is make sure you give him a call and talk to her about and just say and share your feelings with her.
Just give it a thought on this and on her replies and then from there you can decided how you wanna go ahead with this relationship.
Hope this helps

My brother before he was deployed he would call me every weekend. But now that he is training before getting deployed, he will then only call me every other weekend. Which I can now understand because now he is more busy than ever.

I have two brothers and one sister. The two brothers are overseas so we stay in touch via e-mail. My sister is about 30 minutes away. Not only is she close, but our kids get along so well.....they want to see each other every weekend. So even if us adults are sick of each other we get together for our kids sake. I guess that's a good thing.

They don't really call... maybe because they're not in the country. But they do send text messages and emails most of the time. Communication is very important in any relationship and it somehow helps ease the sadness you feel being far away from them.
