I'm very close to my second cousins and we're practically like brothers and sisters. We were brought up to have a very close relationship with all of them despite the distance between us and we see each other only once a year and yet we are very close!
Are you close to your relatives?

I used to be close with my cousins when I was young. Up until I was 14 years old, it's like everything changed. Now, I'm just close to one of my cousins. We're like real sisters and I'm happy for that. I wish to be close to my other cousins again, but the last time I saw them was like 2 years ago.

I almost have 20 cousins.They all get married,most of them even have chileren who are going to college next year.And one of my niece graduated from university at the same year as I did. I am so much younger than my cousins, so I don't think we were close ever.

I'm not really close to my cousins. I guess it's because of the age difference. I don't really have a cousin who is my own age. They're either so much older or so much younger than me.

I don't have a lot of cousins in my family. The few that i do have are precious to me and i feel close to them. Family is so important. the relationships we have with them guide us through our lives.

Actually, I am not very close to my cousins. I have a lot of cousin, but we live far away from each other. We only meet each other when new years or anniversary. Of course, I sometimes contact and ask to them about life and somethings. My relationship is good but it's not so close!

My family is very close. I moved from Pennsylvania to Florida twenty years ago. Within five years my aunt, my parents and sister, as well as my two cousins moved to Florida also. We grew up in the same neighborhood and always were together growing up.

my relationship with my relatives before are quite close but when we all grew up, there are lots of difficulties then. one example is when my eldest sister's wedding, they all got angry because they said that they should be the number 1 in the list or we should prioritize our relatives first like children from our relatives should be mostly walking in the aisle and not kids from my sister's friend... that was kind of stupid for them not to understand the situation...
