Do all relatives are good to us? Do you have a good relationship with your family and other relative? We had some good and bad experiences with our relatives. There are guys who stayed at our house for such a very long time without job. My parents feed and shelter them yet they manage to do not so good things in us, peeing in my sisters room when they change clothes, is that good? And this goes one of my sister in law. He's my older brother's partner, cause they are not yet married but they got children. My brother is working abroad and the girl and children live with us they built a room extension. She just stayed with us for more than 10 years but she acts like as if she extinct in our family for 2 decades. She does something annoying but we never confronted her as respect to our older brother. She's only few years older than me but I don't talk to her often than my other sister in law. I also don't get to spend time with her kids because of her attitude, I love my nieces and nephews but this two seems so far from me.
How about you guys? Do you have bad experience with your family or relatives?

Hi!
Blood is always thicker than water because it is a fluid consisting of plasma, blood cells, and platelets and water is colourless liquid containing two molecules of Hydrogen and one of Oxgen. 
On a serious Note, I would say this is all natural, whatever you have written happens with almost everyone and each family, its degree may vary. You tend to help many relatives, however, they never repay or bother to think about your favours, yet you continue to do so.

It is true that we connect and bond with those of our relatives, whom we like and with whom we have same wavelenth.

Yeah, this is the reality, even siblings fight. And I am not ashamed of saying that I am not close to my other cousin and other relative, sorry but it is not worth it. Others are kind but others are bad.

With my experience with my family,i can't say that blood is thicker than water.my uncle has really have a bad attitude.he don't treat us as his nephews.he is the sibling of my mother.the house was given to him by our grandmother.the house is really big,which has four rooms but he never share it with us.we can stay in the house but we have to pay for the house rents and house bills.if you are really a good uncle, you will not do that to your own sister and nephew.you can probably ask them to contribute in home bills.i have notice that other people cares for us than him.so i can say that "blood is not thicker than water."

There are born relative that you will hate and there are those you will love. Unlucky for us that we got those kinds of relative 
. I would like to correct the word "peeing" into "peeping".

In my case,i think most of my relatives, or will i say 80% of my relatives are born to be hate not only by me but my whole family.most of my relatives, do not support my mother.they don't treat my mom as a sibling, they treat my mom as a slave which is really painful to me and to my siblings.that is why,we are striving very hard for my mother.we want to provide her something that will totally make her happy.

I can say yes and no when it comes right down to family ties. Occasionally when family members also hate one another you know what, it is possible to say yes and no to the ideal that blood is thicker than water.
Blood is thicker than water. We just have to get back to the 70's and see it in reality. If by putting aside our differences and thinking for one instant, we would still be the brother within, the sister in need and the mother who holds nothing back. We would be the father who respects and becomes respected.

It depends upon a situation but as they say, even if you had a fight with your family/relatives, if they need a help, we are always there to help them.

As you have mention, those guys (don't have any respect to your family) who were peeping your sisters room while they are changing clothes is a mortal sin. They are doing an animal thing. Your family should dispels them from your house because they will do it often or there are posibilities that they will do something bad. Dont't wait for that. I know you knew what i'm talking about. Your family must aware of that. Have a great afternoon.

Thanks! I know what you mean, it happened many years ago when I was young. My sister even discover that small hole and they had arguments. I don't know if that is the reason why that particular cousin of mine leave, but maybe he had his own family too. Did you know that after that my parents still manage to welcome some of my male cousins. But they did not do what that bad cousin of mine do. My parents are just so warm and kind in them. I had problem with my other male cousin and we had argued and my father decided that he move him to his place. Thank God that now we have less visitor or rarely.

I would like to say that in todays world water hs thicker than blood. We can not trust anybody. We may have a very good family or we may have bad relations with our family. Everything here depend on the nature of a person not on blood relatives. But one would be lucky to have a good family. And no one can change the nature of a person. Happy mylotting. Regards, harry.

Hi Harry! It's true, sometimes it's just not run into the blood. There black ship in the Family. Sometimes those who is not your family helps you but your family/relatives doesn't.

Many are not maintaining good relationship with their family because they are too materialistic.
