I come from a big Italian family and we just love to fight with someone in the family. We always have someone we are having a fight with. That was until my sister got cancer and passed away. It just made me realize that life is too short to fight with people. I now try to get along with everyone in my family. I don't want to leave this life with any regrets. How do you get along with family?????

I had to laugh when I read your thread. When I was still going to school my folks were friends with an Italian family. They were the best friends in the world and they really were good to us kids too, but oh my lord could they fight and just over nothing. They'd get at it and half was in english and half in Italian...Memories... I get along real well with my daughter and her hubby. I have two brothers who are both over the age of 40 and act very imature. If they get mad about something they just quit talking and won't answer the phone, so I've just let it go. You're right life is far to short. By rights we need to treat each day as if it was our last because maybe it will be...

My dad and step-mum are ok other than that I don't really have a lot to do with my family, a lot of them are a bit rough and are always srcounging something so I'd rather keep oout of the way, but I'm nice if I see them. My cousin owes Shrek a lot of money for some work he did before christmas and is now not talking to us and telling the family we are unreasonable - we lost a months wages just before christmas with 2 kids - we just want some money that is rightly Shreks to live on, it's caused a lot of trouble in the family and several of them are now not talking to us, it's ok really, I don't miss them, lol.

My husband and I always fuss. But! that is our passion in us. I never fight with any of my family. We are very close. We lost a close friend. He was only 21 and he was in a boating accident. Our whole town was in shock. Now we make it a point that we never go to bed mad or leave someone mad. When someone in my family does leave, I will always tell them that I love them and to please come back home.

I am close to my family but not that much. We do have a lot of fights and misunderstanding but we manage to resolve it and compensate with each other. We try to have open communication with each other. Yup, you are totally right. Life is too short so we must live our lives to the fullest. :)

I love my family.... Everyone has problem and difficulties but all of as always join back for dinner and slove the issues. Family means to me is love, understanding. Forgive and forget is the mantra i live on.
