more of a personal question for you all...

what is your relationship with your family like? parents siblings etc?

i ask this because, last week was the first week i didnt come home for spring break i went and partied with friends. and by the end of that break, i was stressed as all hell and for some reason homesick. my mom called and asked what i was doing for my birthday and i almost broke down crying and told her im coming home. i love my family, they make me feel so good and i am so happy when im with them.

whats your relationship with your family?

 

dodgy, thats a good word to sum it up

we get on when it suits us.. me & my mom are great together, but if either of us is in a foul mood, the other will know

dont see one of my bro's, but hes my bestie

me and my dad.. i unno. im a proper daddys girl, buuuuuuuuuuttt i dont really like him. hes quite selfish (as in hes really overweight & ill, and doesnt care if he dies and leaves us) but hes always made sure that we've not gone without

me & my sis... we rarely get on, but we have our moments. silly, giggly, girl moments, but i dont think id miss her (shes moving out soon YAY)

me & my other bro..... same. i wouldnt miss him hahaha

so overall, its not perfect, but what is. id miss my mom if i moved, but not the siblings

 

My family is very religious and since the age of 14-15 I have disagreed with everything that they believe. I held out until I was 18 then I left for college and told them everything. To be honest I didn't miss my parents. Right now I'm living at home because I had a medical withdrawal from college. And I really don't like living here because I get bitched at all the time for having nappy hair (they dont know i started dreading) and for having big holes in my ears (0guage) and my dad got pissed at me cause i don't have a job and he was like "thats what dope smokers do! they just sit at home and be lazy and smoke dope. your getting a job!" I was just like whatever... If you love your parents then thats the way it should be and kudos for having a family that actually likes you.

 

I dont like my parents, im just too grown up and independent and they still treat me like a kid when it suits them and an adult every other time and they always get it wrong. i get on all right with two of my bro's pretty ok but cant stand the youngest one, he is in the awkward stage where he is really annoying

 

yeah i have 1 sister who is 13, i work on cars with dad and she rides horses with mom. we have almost nothing in common and we are at that age difference where we just dont do things together, hopefully that will change. we all get along together though, a big part of it i think is because my mom is a therapist so she knows exactly what to say and when to say it. and dad works his ass off for the family.

 

hah, when i was 13 i was out skating & getting stoned with my bro =]

 

haha i was skating but never got high...ahh the good old days when there wasnt a care in the world

 

My family used to be pretty tightly knit. We had the family gatherings for holidays and all, but in September my mom left my dad out of nowhere. I believe it was drug related - heroine/cocaine. I haven't talked to her since. My dad, he's willing to give anything and everything up for her, even the rest of the family (me, my sister, my grandparents, etc), and has made it very clear in many different ways. My mom wrecked her car a few weeks ago and told my dad she needed my car. The car was in his name, so legally, I had to give it to him. So, he took my car, which I need for school and work, and gave it to my mom, who abandoned the entire family and put my dad in debt and almost foreclosure. Because of this, him and I don't really speak anymore.

Basically, I'm out of communication with my parents, but have an extremely strong relationship with my sister and grandparents.

 

ooh yes. i remember sitting out on our roof with a acoustic in the summer. bootiful.

 

My family and I haven't spoken in four years now. I don't miss them and they don't miss me. I am however, extremely close to my husband and I adore the little family we made together (pets not kids) we all cuddle up under a duvet on weekends and we just enjoy the moment. Really hope it stays that way when we decide to have kids. I honestly can't bear to be away from them an longer than an afternoon. Hot damn! I love my fam!

 

nice

 

that was really touching reading that man, amost brought a tear to my eye for some reason, im such a loser lol


Im kind of semi close to my family, dont really do the whole huggy kissy thing, but i do tell them stuff, its mostly all about fun and having a laugh

with uncles and aunts though i only see them probably twice a year, i dont really know them that well to be honest, its a shame, but we have never been a massive family unit. A good thing though is that i reacntly saw my nan and my grandad, which was good

 

aye, we're not a huggy lovey type either, except my aunts who live away (australia, bradford & scotland) so when they come down, theyre very much all over you and hugs and kisses and blah blah blah. i dont know how to deal with that.. i like to just sit in the corner and observe

 

My dad rules, and since my wedding in July 2007 I've seen him for about 3 hours In the past few years I probably haven't even spent a whole day with him, which sucks and blows. But I spoke to him on the phone last night and he might be coming to see me soon For an actual weekend! *hopes*

 

yeah its nice because i come from a family of professional chefs, so i love thanksgiving (holiday based around food) and such when they come out...all time is spent in the kitchen and some kick ass food is made

 

Hax that was so touching. Such a nice thread idea. I'm the same, I absolutely adore my family. I have two twin sisters who are 17 and my brother is 20, they actually were just over watching factory girl in mine my mum&dad are so in love and are absolutely amazing. I can't believe how much they do for us. I'm the same, I get real homesick when I'm away from them for too long. My sisters are the same. They are my best friends, siblings are such a gift.
I want at least 3 kids. I just love spending time w my family, we have deep chats and laugh soo much when were together. We just get eachother like no 'outsider' could.
I found moving out realli difficult, on my wedding day when me and my dad had our father daughter dance I couldn't stop crying. I just couldn't believe I wasn't going to be living in their home anymore. It was such a shock to the system and so scary! But we moved a few months ago just 2miles away from them so I see them almost everyday. I couldn't live without them

 

yeah its going to be weird for me, the day where i dont come home for summer break

 

my parents are divorced and no longer speak to eachother, so our relationships have been weird. i hated my mom for a long time after she got remarried, she and her hub repressed me a lot as a teenager. and my dad works all the time, so i felt pretty neglected in some ways for a while. i was pretty messed up my junior year of hs and moved out to live with my bf as a senior.

but now i am really cool with both my parents. i live an hour from my dad and brother and see them relatively frequently. mom live in the mtns of tennessee and i haven't seen her in 8 months, but we get along really well now. she has transformed a lot, and so have i. it's good

 

thats good... im actually adopted by my dad, my mom and biological dad had me. mom was working 2 jobs and tony didnt work, alcoholic, decided it would be a good idea to drive to his buddies and drink, with me on his lap...i was just over a year old. mom gets home finds we arent there and car seat is. straw that broke the camels back. divorce, mom met my dad now, they were married in 94 we moved out to Colorado and dad adopted me into the family. my bio dad is somewhere in tenessee raising my half brother with his girlfriend havent talked to him in years...i send a letter every now and then to my brother who is about 3

 

somtimes i would stay at a friends house and miss my good ole fam and just want to go home. Mama Im coming home lol.
