Your family

Are you talking about family or relatives? It sounds more like you're talking about the latter. (Yes, there is a difference!)

At present I just live with my parents; that's all. I don't really have any other relatives to speak of.

In a rarity for me, I have nothing more to say - simply because this is all I can say on the matter. My relationships with any of my relatives are largely irrelevant.

 

I just live with my mom right now. (That'll change soon, though)

I have a good relationship with my grandparents and my uncle, though.

 

Family is essentially a group or collection of people who work together and support each other, that have a common goal to better their other family members. While relatives usually are one's family, it's entirely possible for good friends to be just as close to you as family, and it's just as possible for relatives to not be very close to or supportive of you at all.

So relatives definitely can be family, but one does not equal the other. It's something I've given a lot of thought to.

 

I live with my parents and siblings (minus mu elder sister as she moved out). Recently my Aunt and cousins moved in with my family which brings our total up to 17.

It's a miracle my sanity is still intact. But it's great. I love my siblings and cousins and so far, we haven't killed each other (yet).

 

Granted at college I'm not living with my family, but when I'm home for the summer and breaks, I've got 3 siblings and both my parents that I live with. Sure there's arguments between my younger sister and I from time to time, but its still a great familly to be with.

 

I live with my immediate family: parents plus siblings, minus another sibling who is married and moved out. I have distant family who live mostly within 3 hours drive, so I see most relatives at least twice or so per year.

There used to be a lot of tension among my siblings, mostly out of rivalry though, not anything actually harmful. Lately, however, we're growing and getting closer. The only conflict in my family is that my little brother right now is stuck on making a lot of moderately bad decisions, and absolutely refuses to heed the advice and warnings of those more experienced than him. Three years or so from now he'll be matured enough that we can be beyond that, and we'll be a big happy (though geographically disconnected) family again.

It's good to be in a happy family. Your friends are the family you choose, but your family are the friends you're stuck with. You may as well try to make them good friends.

 

i live with my immediate family, being my parents and older sister.

if i had to use one word to describe my relationship with them, it would be 'strained'. i wouldn't say my family's outright dysfunctional, but i don't feel i can really trust my parents, and even if i used to trust my sister, a lot of the time she just annoys me and refuses to leave me alone and it makes it very difficult to trust her with anything. and, for a 17 year old, i find that and a lot of other things she does to be pathetic and honestly really mean. (like pointing out the physical flaws of people on tv and stuff but throwing a hissy fit if someone ever points out her own.) honestly? my family barely even know me. they don't even know what i'm really like as a person, they just think i'm a grumpy jerk (just for rarely displaying much interest in what they're talking about and stuff) as far as i'm aware, and i don't think much better of them in return.

i know someone will say i should credit them for teaching me how to be a good person or whatever, but honestly? most of my kind traits are stuff i just picked up. i've never wanted to be anything like my family, and the only people i've ever aspired to be like aren't people i'm related to at all. every time i talk to them outside of dinner and stuff (and even sometimes then) i feel like some sort of arguing happens, and it makes me really not want to socialize with them. my family don't know any of my actual problems or when something's up, and honestly, if i go to anyone about that when it happens it's my friends who i respect and trust far more.

 

I recently (last year) moved into my real house after living in my grandmother's house for seven and a half years. Right now, it's just my dad, my sister and me. I love my family lot's and lot's, and while 'teenage instincts' are preventing me from understanding my dad, I always to my best to understand him. I know he is a very generous dad, and I cannot stop saying how much I love him for making me such a kind, polite and unique person.

I also love my sister! I try to stop us from arguing even though one of us continues it to vent out anger. I couldn't have any other sister. She bought this for me secretly without me knowing!

 

Presently, I live with my mom and dad. My brother, like I, freeloads in our home.
I don't very much talk to my brother, but if I ask him to do something, he's got my back.
My mom is very supportive of me and treats me very well. However, she does get on my case when I don't wash the dishes.
My dad is just a dad. He makes a lot of jokes and I don't see him as often as I would like because he's always working.

 

I only live with my mother and father at the moment, and I don't have any siblings, so it's just us three in the house (along with our various animal friends). My father is a good man, he works hard and has a good sense of humor, and always tries to help me out when he's able. He encourages my hobbies and tries to get me to do my best, which I really appreciate. My mother is... okay. I don't want to go too much in depth, because while she is my birth mother and she does care about me in her own way, our relationship is strained at best. Still, she tries, and she has been getting a little better as of late now that I have a job.

My extended family is a bit larger, although quite a lot of my relatives have stopped talking to me or my parents after I came out as trans. I don't consider them my family anymore, so I won't include them here.

My mother has three sisters- one of which we don't talk to anymore, one of which is a retired writer (her son owns a band and he's pretty cool), and one of which works at some sort of computer company (her son is closer to my age- I'm the youngest in my family- and we share a lot of the same interests despite not living close to each other). My father had only one sister, and she visits from Texas occasionally. I'm closest with her because she genuinely showed interest and support in my transition and has been very supportive and caring. Her son is currently deployed in the Navy and is stationed over in Japan.

Other than that, I have quite a few cousins and family friends that I don't talk to anymore, and that's about it. All of my grandparents have since passed away- I was very young when they all died, so I can barely remember them. Overall, though, I like my family, even though I don't get to see my extended family very often.

 

I have my mum, dad, a brother and a sister. Bro and sis have their own places they live in though. Get along well with all of them which makes me happy.

 

Both my parents are alive, but sadly they are separated.
I have two sisters, but one lives in another town a long driving distance away. I realize how depressing life is, oh well as long as I have... certain things I'm good and not troubled.

My mom cares for my education, dad just wants to spend time with, sister #1 can be mean but nice at the same time somehow, sister #2, I don't know what kind of a sister she is because we don't spend much time together, but she can be very caring.

No need to worry life is good for me, next week is going to the best week ever, so life doesn't suck so much we learn here today.

 

Aside from my time at college (where I am in a dorm), I live with my mother and stepfather and shall be with them until I am able to afford a place of my own. I get along with both fairly well, my mom moreso than my stepdad. I actually used to really hate my stepdad because we argued a lot; I don't think I ever disliked him because I thought he was taking my dad's place.

As for my father, I see him on occasion. Before graduating high school, I got to see him every Thursday and spent almost every other weekend with him, but since he lives seven hours away it's difficult finding time to meet. When we do get to spend time together, it's either during brief vacations–such as spring break–or during the holidays or special occasions. I get along with him fine, though I sometimes question his choices or opinions on certain matters .w.

Finally, I have three stepsisters. I haven't seen any of them in a long time because two estranged themselves from my mom and stepdad and the third has been busy. I got along with them all right, but not to the point where I'd keep in contact with them. Fortunately, one of my estranged stepsisters recently decided to reconnect with my parents and has been staying with the busy one, so I will probably get to see them again soon!

 

Sister#1 is the second oldest and we used to be so close, we used to play with our neighbors a lot until they moved and I learned mom and dad are having relationship problems and that my mom, sister#1 and I are moving out leaving my dad behinds who moved to the house next door, only being able to see him 2 days a week, sometimes less...

Sister#2 lives in another town some hours away she used to visit us a lot till she got a boyfriend and didn't visit a lot, she's only my half sister but I still miss her...

(Sigh) what has happened to the families in the world and why did God make this way?

 

I live with my dad and brother. I will not call that i live with my mother because she works in another state of my country. She only comes once in 2 or 3 months. I am not really close to her. Reason is that, she started working when i was in 2nd grade so i never really been close to her.

Saying of my brother he is the best brother. He always help me and teaches me C++(coding) since i am not very good in it. He helps in my studies. We often fights but that is okay.

My dad, he is an awesome person. Since my mother is rarely at home he cooks for us and does all work . he never says me to help him the only thing he says is "just pay attention to yoir studies, i am there for all these works". I love him.

 

My family consists of my dad me and my twin brother.

Mum was never in the picture much, if at all.
My parents divorced when I was three.

I now have a step mum and a little half sister.
But they are nice people.

I used to fight with dad a lot, but not so much anymore.
My twin can be pretty mean to strangers and he is nice to me,
kind of twisted logic there.

Basically it boils down to this.

Dad
Step Mum
Twin Brother
Cousins
Half Sister

Mum sadly decided to go back to her own country last I heard from her
and I have not talked to her for almost two years since that time.
