My family is huge with many steps and half's and nieces and nephews. I love it, but no one really understands who is related to me and who isn't. I forget how many brothers and sisters I have all the time! I love it like this, as I have connections with people that I wouldn't have if they weren't related to me, if that makes any sense! There is a real mix of people in my family and I can't say that I see them all as much as I should. But they know where I am. Being the youngest and still at home, gives me the excuse that they should keep in touch with me, as I'm practically a child and haven't changed address!
I am an Aunt to 9 children and have been an aunt since I was 3. My oldest brother is about 20 years older than me, and my youngest brother is 12 years younger than me.
My household is always bickering. My dad and I are both really mellow (he is more than I am though) but my step mum and step sister are argumentative, they hate being wrong. Whereas my dad and i could discuss things for hours contradicting each other without any ill feeling. My little half brother is very sweet and well mannered, but still acts like a 9yr old boy, which causes problems. Bed times and meal times are like war zones in this house!

Well,I have 6 kids(5bys,1grl).They bicker alot.As for the adults,we'd rather hang out and pick on the kids(just for laughs,no mean stuff) and lean on each other.There's ALOT of laughter going on around here all the time.I have no doubt that my kids would go to the ends of the Earth to help each other if the need was really there.At the same time,everybody in my family tells each other like it is..no bullcrap.I guess our policy is"Be real and laugh at what you can when you can"

Ummm, my family are extremely close. Not in each others pockets but wonderful. I think if I had been given the choice I could not have got a better one! My kids bicker like mad, but are top kids, my dad watches too much shoppingTV and rings me way to late at night, but is a brick, my mum helps me no end with the kids whilst I work full time, My sister is impossibly impatient and black and white, but wears her heart on her sleeve and is soft as anything, and my auntie sheelagh would do anything for me.
I am sooooooo lucky and proud to have them all.
.....but it wastn always like that!!!

My kids are always bickering - its a constant stream. I dont ever remember being like that with my brothers but my mum says we used to argue alot. We dont now. We actually get on really well - but that could be down to the fact that we dont see each other that much - but when we do, its great

Although It may look like I am in an awesome environment to be in but in some case I wished my parents could know better what to do and what not to. However for 3 years it showed significantly no signs of sense nor consideration. As well there is only consistence as I really hope that they understand that sometimes putting a stop is best for our family relationship unless they do not want this relationship at all.

My family is wonderful. As kids growing up though my brothers and me fought like cats'n'dogs. Yelled and screamed at one another, pinched each others stuff, broke stuff, stirred the pot and got into fights( wrestled like maniacs) to sort the minor issues that cropped up, drove our folks mad. It's all family bonding, nobody really got hurt. And now years later, all growed up, love my brothers immensely. Still tease and carry on a bit in fun and it's great. Our own kids all doin the same. That's life!

Most live 100 miles away (best place for them) sibling lives 10 minutes away and I've not spoken to him for 10 years, another lives 300 miles away and we speak regularly. Course we don't bicker - we don't speak. BUT I am close to dad and my mum was my best friend.

Nope, for the most part my family gets along very well, that may be due to the fact that we only get together about once or twice a year...but I'd say we all have a pretty good relationship with one another.

bickering would be the polite way of putting it. i have 5 brothers and sisters and we were brought up to be independent and have our own opinions. meaning we disagree with each other on everything (politics, music, culture) and we're all to stuborn to back down. but i like it that way, better than being clones of our parents
