What is your relationships like with your family?

We are all pretty close. My parents and I are really close. My mom helps me with my son everyday, so we are always together.

I have very strong relationships with everyone in my family too...even though our parents have passed we still get together as often as possible. This weekend our family goes to a cabin in Wisconsin for the weekend...all the nephews, nieces, greats and of course my brother and my sisters and spouses. As brother and sisters...we live a nice distance so once in a while we meet for supper someplace that is central to all of us....we are very lucky!

Relationships among family members should necessarily be of a binding disposition. Proper love and needful attachment could only be gained only when you mutually lovable,agreeable and understandable.

We pretty much all get along. My two sisters-in-law can be somewhat annoying, but we get along...

We used to be closer as a family but it's really been years isnce we have been. It used to be we'd have get togethers regularly at my grandmother's house and at first she'd cook and then it came to ordering pizza, then chinese to go with the pizza. We'd have fun, play card games or games outside and just talk and socialize. Even then I wasn't really all that close with my sibilings or cousin, but it was better then it is now. We are an antisocial family, atleast some of us are. We don't ever really get together unless it's someone's birthday party and actually the only birthday parties I will go to is for my niece and nephew, not my cousins kids at all.

I have an extremely sweet relationship with my family.A few years back we were a joint family consisting of more than 30 members.We then used to share the same kitchen in the same house.As time passed by,some misunderstanding among us brothers took place,and then we got ourselves separated from each other.Now my brothers are no more,but their sons and daughters respect me.My own sisters also respect and love me and so is my wife.We are a happy couple now and we can't live without each other.

Hi dorannmwin, My parents passed on many years ago and now most of my brothers and sisters are gone as well. There were nine of us brothers and sisters when I was young, now I have just one brother and one sister. Like you I was blessed with a great relationship with all of them. Our parents were poor but loving and compassionate and treated us all very well. I have three sons and hope that they too will have such good memories someday and always a good relationship with each other. Blessings.

That's great your family is so close like that, dorannmwin! I thought my family had a pretty good relationship, I really did. But through some recent events during our move to our house, I had to question it (but that's a whole 'nother discussion). We are all mostly nice to each other - even now after all that happened a couple months ago - but now things are a tad awkward. My dad and I aren't close, but at least we are civil . . . I've never been able to really talk to him, and he's not one to "chat" anyway except when it comes to his opinions - but at least he tries really hard to be a nice grandfather to the kids. My mom and I are much closer - but she tends to internalize a lot and over analyze to the point where misunderstandings can happen too easily - but I have a lot to thank her for. My sister and I got closer as adults - but sometimes that girl can have a mouth and I don't appreciate that at all - but she is a good aunty to the kids. Right now we are all getting along well again, but a big part of me resents them at the same time.

You are very lucky to have such a close family. My relationship is very poor with what exists of my family. There are not many people left but almost no one has nothing to do with me. My mother was very cruel to me and I was forced to leave home very young. She was a very angry and unhappy woman. I always tried to reach out and connect but it was never successful. I have a sister but she suffers from M.S. and lives in another state. Her children do not have anything to do with me. They also have very little to do with her. There are a few first cousins but some are elderly and ill. Others have no interest in me. When I went to Boston recently for my 50th high school reunion, I saw a couple of old friends who were wonderful. The only family left in Boston was a first cousin and his wife. Though they are elderly, they are still in fair health and drive. They live very close to the hotel where we were having the reunion but could not find the time to visit. I would love to have a family like you are describing. I have friends who have close families and I have seen what I missed out on. I always feel sad that I did not have a better family life.

For me and my family our personalities are all over the places so for some of us it makes it hard for us to get along then others. I've always been pretty close to both of my parents but now as a mom I'm more closer to my own mother then I am with my father just because well he doesn't understand the mom part but he understands the parent part which I can always talk to him about. I can talk to him about soccer and stuff like that from when I was little. I wouldn't say me and my brothers are that closer because we are not. My brothers and I we have very different personalities so we don't always get along that well. My oldest brother he has a sharp fast heated temper so it doesn't go over well. My other brother our personalities are very much the same so we are pretty much always looking for a good laugh we when can but also very serious so we get a long a lot better. When we are all together we don't fight or anything.

I have a very close relationship with my family. My siblings and I have a large age gap since I was born really late. We have a 14 year age gap. But despite these, we are still very close. They have become my mini-parents. They tell me what is the right thing to do and stuff like that :) I really appreciate their kind efforts. I love my family. happy mylotting.

Me and my family are more closer now. these past few years we may not be as close as now because i'm with them, i see them everyday. But 2 months ago when i decided to work in the city, a couple of miles away from my hometown i still feel their presence though were very far they made me fell they are with be by calling everyday. We talked over the phone for almost an hour every day. I really miss them just imagine i still have to ride a boat for one night and a bus plus the fare is not cheap plus the only vacation i have is only during new years day and this is my first time to work away from my family.

My relationship with my family is very good indeed.I have a brother and he has supported me in every way possible till now.My father has always been working abroad so we didn't get to see him as much as our mother.But, he came back every few months and we were pretty glad and satisfied about it.As me and my brother both were with my mother since the childhood we were much more comfortable with her and closer to her.But we have always had a friendly relationship with our father and we are all pretty close to each other.So I am pretty family with my family and how it is :)

We are also a very close family. Unfortunatley, we only see them three times a year as we live in a different province to them. When we do get together it's absolutely awesome. The cousins are also very close to each other, which is lovely.

I am real close to my sister my dad used to make her take me with her when she went out I only see my brothers once in a while we grew up close but now they moved away and now days the only way I talk to my cousins is on facebook but my relationship with my parents is really good they have helped me with my son and daughter alot for that I am grateful.

I'm closer to my mom than to my dad. We share a lot of interests, particularly word games like Scrabble and Boggle. My dad's a bit sporty (amateur basketball player) and I've been a nerd/geek all my life, so there's just no connection there. Also, I'm the only boy among 3 siblings. I'm also the middle child (5 year gap with older sister, 11 year gap with younger sister). You can say I was a spoiled brat until my younger sister came along. 11-year old me was jealous of all the attention my younger sister was getting that time, but as time flew, I became more mature and accepting of that. I know I'm not a very expressive person but I love everyone in my family. I would do anything for them to have a good life. I wish that for all of us.

Okay, My relationship with my family is very good too. I have two elder brothers and I am in very good terms with them. They will do anything for me and I can do anything for them. I am away from them but We have a bond that is very strong. My parents are awesome and wonderful people. I love my parents.Though I am far from home, when ever I think of them even a little bit, I get call from them, So you can imagine what our relationship would be like. thanks for sharing,. have a wonderful day.
