Do you get along good with your family/relatives?

yes, i have a good and harmonious relationship with my mom and dad, and with my siblings too..hehe we are all happy and living in one roof, well, actually my sister is not in the house, she is in Manila, she works there, but we communicate constantly. and i am really happy with the current relationship that we have, we love and care for each other, we dont really say words of endearment or very showy about our love but we can feel how much one loves the other.. blood is always thicker than water!

I am glad to say that my family get along good. Sure we have our disagreements but it's not to the point where we won't talk to each other or anything like that.

so far, i don't really have any real problems with any of my family members that cause me not to want to speak with the person at all... i try to respect every member of my family especially elders because we are related by blood... and as you say, when you face hardships, the first person that you would ask for help will be your family and no one else... take care and have a nice day...

good day.. you have a point. Family should be close to one another because there is what we call a blood bond but you should also accept that while families are blood bound they are also people. People who are subjected to greed, selfishness and other unfavorable characteristic. I mean yes we should love and be bonded but that that family member must also be lovable as a person above all.

i am not close at all with my one remaining uncle on my mother's side. he is selfish. he is a user. he has taken money from my mother to put on a front porch and did such lousy work that i had to replace it in a year. he has taken money from my mother to paint her bedroom and my daughter and i had to totally repaint it after he left. he has taken money from my mother to replace all her basement windows with glass block and one window he simply cemented over it. no, take money from my poor 81 year old mother and i want nothing to do with you. he lives 3 hours from us and i'm quite happy about that.

I must say that I am very close to my brothers and sisters. My parents and I have a decent relationship but I would definitely not call it close. As far as my uncles and aunts? Now that is a different story! I probably wouldn't even recognize 90% of them if I sat next to them! I think there were fall outs between them in my mom/dad so that is why us kids never really knew them. When the s*&^ hits the road, I believe that all one really has is their family. I also believe that family doesn't only mean blood-related (I think someone in this discussion talked about that).

well my dear, i get along with most of my family members, on my side but on my husbands side NO! my mother in law is a monster, my step father in law is a *^%$ , and my sister is laws are those kind of people who think they are better than everyone else. they don't like me and i don't like them. once upone a time we got a long. but i gave up taking their bull, so they started talking about me,saying some really not so nice stuff. I too strongly believe that families should be close, but in my case that is not so. my mom and I don't really get a long that great eather. but we still take and she come to visut all of us. Not haveing anything to do with my in laws is hard because i have 3 children, who love them. they have not seen my kids in 10 months and i like to keep it that way. i am sorry to here about your family, and i agree with you, everyone should get a long but some time people get mad over stupid things, in my case it was over major stuff. good luck to you.

For the most part I get along with most of my family and relatives. The ones that I don't I just keep a distance between us...not a really good thing but sometimes it's necessary. [b]~~IN SEARCH OF PEACE WITHIN~~ **AGAINST THE STORMS, I WILL STAND STRONG** [/b]

Well, families always fight, don't they? If families don't fight, who should? Actually families are the things that wreck peace the most. And so far, not a single family member has ever been of any use to me. They have just been nuisances. Most of the time, I have been helped by complete strangers. Sorry if I am offending you, Marlena, but I really don't have a great regard for "family." I am not in touch with anybody. My immediate family is living in the same house as me, and we are getting along fine, but nobody else. :) Cheers and happy mylotting

I usally get along pretty good with my relatives I dont think there is anyone of them which I dont like and I have a pretty big family. I think I am very lucky of that since I know a lot of people who cant stand there relatives

Family are exactly that,and it doesnt mean because they are family that you are all going to get along,there are usually a pretty mixed bunch of characters in every family .There are members of our family that we havent seen or met up with for years,and the likelyhood of meeting in the near future is slim too.But there will always be the family members that we see regularly,the close ones,im sure thats the same for the majority of families.

I totally agree with you! In my family as well there are so many people who are not in contact with us because of some stupid little reason. I really dont like it. Because however they are your own people, they are the one who you were friends wiht, who you shared everything with. And suddenly fro some little reason or argument you will not see them for the rest of your life?? We should realize the importance of our family friends.

Hello mylotting friends!!!! I usually go very well with my family/relatives although I have to admit that sometimes we have some very "hot" arguments, especially with my close family, however after a while everything just comes back to normal. Happy mylotting!!!

This is a good topic of discussion. I've lost complete contact with one sister and I only see the other one when there's a family get together. Unfortunately, we just don't get along. I really find them awful to be around!!! It's a shame, but it would seem I'm not the only one who doesn't get on with their family.

I'm not really too close with my relatives. When I was a kid, we were all a lot closer. Some things have happened when I was in my teen years, when they stook their noses in things that didn't concern them at all. That's when I really lost respect for all of them. I talk with my parents and sister on a regular basis. She has 3 babies, and I don't see them as often as I'd like, esp. with me having moved. I think that they're all so beautiful, and I definetly want to be a great aunt to them. As fas as relying on family, I really think sometimes that I'd have a better chance of relying on a stranger. lol. Really. I'm married, so I have my husband. But I always like to rely on myself. If there's a problem, there's always a solution.

For me friends are better than relatives. Neighbor is better than distant relative
