Do you live in the same city as your family?

My entire immediate family lives in my city. My mum,dad,stepdad, both sets of grandparents and step dads parents and my dads brother and sister. My mum is an only child like me. Infact my dad and I live in the same area as his sister, cousin and parents and my mum and step dad live in the same area as both of their parents. I talk to my family almost every day and am quite close to them. Perhaps as im an only child and have no cousins on either side of the family. Im passionate about travelling and hope to spend a few months working in Europe in the next two years and will miss them all sorely, but I know I will be fine as home will always be waiting for me.

my family is 5 hours far from me..i am in a different city because i chose to study away from them for me to become in dependent..i am on my 5th year in studying my course and a graduating student..we communicate through text, because unfortunately it's very costly if we communicate through call..

I live far away from my family. Different state, and I don't think any of my family member can come here. There is no phone line too in here, and if I want to make a phone call, I need to climb a hill, so usually I will call my family twice or triple times a week. Sometimes it good to be far from family, so I less stress thinking about my family problems and I also get to know new people and able to have a new experience too.

No i don't live in the same city as my family, infact i don't live in the same country. It takes me full day to reach my parents and bro's and sis's and cousions, and i make a visit once a year. But yep i do call every week once atleast or sometimes more...., Earlier i did missed them a lot, but now i got adjusted here, and have my own small family of 4...

I stay with my parents, yeah in the same city of course :)

I don't live in the same city as my family, in fact I don't even live in the same state lol. My family is about a 1000 miles away and I've been gone for almost 3 years now. It's nice to be out experiencing other states but also sucks because when I need help say with my kids, i can't get it, and they are always a long distance phone call and it's harder to go visit because we actually have to plan and make sure that we have the money. Hope that helps.

My whole family lives up in CT and I'm in FL...so we are about 1200 miles apart...I moved out when I went to college...but I go home at least once a year now. My boyfriend lives with me in FL and all of his family is in Chicago...we both talk to our families just about everyday. I like living away from them because if I lived closer my mom would try to control more of my life because 1200 miles isn't really stopping her from trying right now lol.

I live about 280 miles away from my family, I have lived here for almost 7.5 years now I moved here to be with my partner and we have made a wonderful life here with our own little family together. I speak to my family every week but email my mum several times a day and my sisters. We visit often but not so much at the moment since my eldest started school and my mum had to have an operation on her spine. It was hard at first and I had the love of my life to help me cope with how hard it was but it truely does get easier you learn how to still be a family despite living apart and its no less wonderful just different to families who live close to one an other. Be prepared to travel to see them make sure you have good internet connection and a webcam a family can be together without actually being together if that makes sense x

As of now I still live with my parents. I am 19, so as soon as I get the cash I will be moving out. Don't know exactly how soon that will be, but still. I don't know if I will move to another city or not. I really want to travel, but I don't know when I will be able to get the money to do so.

in India we generally stay together until unless the child goes to work out side of the town , we father, mother, son,daughter, daughter in law, grand son, grand daughter, every one and me also staying with my father, mother and also with brother and sister in law and I feel proud to stay like this

For most of my adult life, I lived about 30 minutes away from my parents, but 2 years ago, I moved 900 miles away. Is it tough? Yes, I miss them horribly and really wish we could visit more often. On the other side of the coin though, I moved woth my husband and together, we are doing wonderful where we moved. We moved here to be close to his son, who became my son when we got married. We couldn't bring the boy to us so we came to him. This move has opened up a world of opportunities to us that we wouldn't have had where we were. I talk to my Mom at least once a week. Normally, I talk to her every couple of days. Lately, we have both been pretty busy though so we haven't talked as much. I was worried about moving, I knew it would be hard on me, but it was necessary for my family, so I did it. It was very hard for the first 6 months to a year, but now, it isn't bad. I may have to drive for 12 hours to go visit them, and it is not something that happens often at all, but I know that my kids and I are all doing well and my marriage is strong. It was definately hard, but I think it really was time for me to spread my wings and fly. If you have an opportunity to better yourself, don't hesitate. Opportunity doesn't come knocking too often. Your family will be there and you will be able to talk and visit. No matter how many miles there are between you, I guarantee, if you are a close family, you will still stick together.

Yup, I do! Actually, I still live with my mother. And my siblings' family are living in the same city as well. If I remember correctly, my whole clan has lived in the same city for generations.

I live very close to my family, always have. My husband and I are going to be stationed away from home, and found out that we were only going to be about 4 1/2 miles away. We wanted to get away from home to see what its like being completely on our own, but I am sort of relieved because I am pregnant and if he gets deployed then our family is close enough to us that I wont be alone. I think after we get used to them not always being there that we will be ready to move further away. If it is something that would help your career and your future you should take the chance. Even if you miss them, you can still phone them. One day you will have to move away, so why not do it when it will benefit you now! Good luck, I know how hard it can be!

Actually yes most of my family is here in cali the immediates but i have alot of cousin and branch fam all over from texas to pennslyvania

I live in the states and my parents lives overseas in Denmark europe, I have been living here with my husband and son for the last 6 years. We don't see one another very often but we skype a lot, exchange email often so I don't see it as an issue -ofcourse I miss out on birthdays and other family events but I am a firm believer that we all need to follow our hearts and do what each of us feels is right. If we have a dream and a goal that we want to follow there are sometimes certain sacrifices we need to make, who knows what tomorrow brings. I believe that if we don't reach for the opportunities when they come our way, we won't get anywhere in life and who knows when the next train is going to be there. We only live once and we want to make the best out of it while we can.

no . very far away and that's around 15hours traveling by train.. i seldom go back to the the family after i joined the work.sometimes i really miss my mum and dad but i have no time and need to work..life is hard during the recession so i will go back to see them once my sistuation turns better.

Our family lives in the same city as my mother, brother's family, and sister. My husband's family lives in a small town about 25 minutes from us. We are all very close. We've considered moving away at a couple different times, but then we realize that our situation wouldn't be better anywhere that we went and in certain ways it would be worse. First off, we wouldn't know anyone. There would be no more free childcare. No where that my husband would work would be as tolerant as the place that he works now. Plus, our city is a great place to raise a family.

No i don't live with my parents. I am working in one of the metros in india and my patents stay in a place which is appx seven hours by road. They don't like to be in Metro and are happy where they live.

hi there, i live in the same town as my mum, step-dad and brothers, but not my real dad. i havent seen or heard from him in about 10yrs. i also have 3 half sisters whom i've never met. i know they all live in england somewhere, and that i have at least 1 niece. thinking about trying to find them.

I live far away from my family. My Dad and brother and sister live in Houston, my mom and step dad got a job in Russia so they live there, and my older siblings live in Colorado and Alaska. I'm married and live here in Austin Texas. It took some getting used to but its pretty good. You learn that you like your space and develop a whole new you!
