When I'm with my family I try to help them with everything, spend time talking to them and cook food they like. When I live apart from them, I always try to find time and talk to them so we are in touch constantly. Not everyone is the same, some people like to be in touch all the time, others need a lot of freedom. Whatever I do I try to let them know that they are important for me.

No,my close family is just a few people so it's not so difficult... they are those whom i call, but i can't call everyone on a regular basis either. If I can I use skype istead. Those who are not so close... yes they are whom I owe many excuses too

Happiness is an infection.It catches with the people nearby to you very easily.I always try to be happy to make my family happy.A sullen face will shoo away the family members from you with a long face.So I make it a point to hide my depressins or worries and always try to be a happy person to my family.Apart from the beaming face I fulfill the likings of them on the first basis making myself wait in the quuee as the last person.

I am really impressed. I guess you have got the art to make people happy. I try the same way you mentioned but I tell you, I am not so good in hiding my depressions/feelings. So I end up showing/expressing my sad feelings easily. However, it is never too late to start doing the same. thanks for participation

Aside from buying/giving food and other stuff to my family,I always find time to share activities with them. Like going on a family vacation once in a while, playing together and other things.

i love to go on vacation with my members provided they all r free at one point of time.. these days it is so difficult to have all of them take leaves from their busy schedule and go for vacation...thanks for sharing

well there are many ways to make your family happy but this is very difficult to make whole family happy.because in family every person thoughts are different about you.so to make your family happy first of all you have to understand the expectation of family which are related with you.and i work hard to make my goals so that my family be happy with me.

Happiness is in our deep heart. I am unmarried, my family is happy. There are four members. Although we are distant from each other, always keep in contact, have family reunion in festivals and vacations, buy clothes for parents, cook chinese food for them, and take them to travel scenic spots.
