I have noticed that different people have different relationships with their parents/family. What is your relationship like?
I have a rough realtionship, where I am in a nice position with my parents, I find that we have a lot of arguments due to the fact that i am a teen. I love my brothers with all my heart, but we get in fights all the time. :)

The best way to see who is really at fault is to see the whole picture. Dysfunctional family's happen due teenager who think they should be allowed to run the show their way and think that their parents are being unfair. . Sorry for the comment but, it is the truth. When you have your kids you will have a mind that will be set in a different gear, which it to love and protect your children. . Your brothers and you might fight for rank status, silly but true. When you get older you will laugh at all the silliness that you argued over. Look at the whole picture and you will see yourself at a different age and you will be able to know your parents only want the best for you, even if you think it is not the best for you.

I have 2 younger brothers ... growing up we fought all the time ... but we're a close family so we did everything together ... to this day I still hang out with cousins, brothers & family friends ... we still do family traditions like camping out every year in the desert, Holidays are so busy - nothing but eating, eating & eating ... this year I have 2 parties on Sat. night, 3 dinners to go to on Christmas Eve & 3 places to visit on Christmas ... like I said Huge family ... lots & lots of fun ... we also have our last name tattooed on us ... me, my cousins, my brothers, uncles ... etc ... we're pretty proud of who we are ... and where we're from ... we have BBQ's all time ... sports are always fun to play when you have tons of people ... !
I visit my aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, great grandparents probably a few times a week ... I talk to my mom a few times a day almost ... my daughter has sleep over's all the time ... I'm happy our family gets along so well ... the only thing is it really does get tiring ... every weekend it's a birthday party, wedding or baby shower ... you never get a break .. not only that but I have a truck too so I get the phone calls like " hey can you help me pick up a dresser I just bought - I need a truck " and since they're family & if I was in their shoes I'd want help too ... I always follow through ... can't leave family hanging like that ... we have each others backs for sure ... don't worry things will get better with your brothers ... it just takes some time ... and maturity ... lol ... !

I decided to answer this question for you because I think I've a lot to say about it lol. My mum and sister are downstairs arguing. I have a good relationship with my mum and my dad works away, he's been working away for years and I think he's used to it now, and not used to two teenagers and an 11 year old who acts like one. My mum and sister argue all the time... no, my sister argues all the time... most of the time with my mum. We can't ever say anything that could remotely annoy her because she shouts and screams, she really need to get a grip. The rest of my family are quite good together though, I get along with my mum most of the time... I only usually argue with her when my mobile bill comes in. My little sister and I get along good most of the time.

I'm kinda like you. I surely love my family,eventhough they get on my nerves alot and we argue alot. I love my brother and sister as well,but like you we fight and argue everyonce in a while...but I know that if anything ever happens to them,I'll feel sad and quickly ask God to forgive me of all the things I said about them and ask him to take care of them and heal them....

My family is completely and perfectly: Chaotic, Amazing, Argumentative, Competitive, Charming, Kind, Comprehensive, Loving, and Supportive!
My Father comes in as the Head of the house; always putting us in place, maintaining us active, and creating in us a competitive side. He keeps up with our behavior, education, passion, and needs.
My Mother is the Heart of the house; always cooking delicious meals for the whole family (a mixture of Caribbean, Mexican and Italian Foods..yum=) She makes sure we behave in a good manner, respect our elders, respect ourselves, and respect our family. She is the nurse, doctor, teacher, companion, and Best Friend in this household!
My 23yr Old Brother is the Talent of the House; He is an incredible artist, actor and model. He provides support, advise, and help to each of our brother's goals, aspirations and dreams. We ALL brothers' look up to him.
My 21yr Old Brother is the Inspiration of the House; He loves cars, racing them and working on them. He believes in the special art, Power and Speed can provide to both, the car and the driver...We all come from a "Racing Family" (Speed is in our blood...lol) He provides Motivation, Strenght, Honor and Courage to this family.
My TWIN brother (19yrs..soon 2 be 20*wink*) is the Entertainment of the House; His passion for laughter and good mood always brightens our hearts, after a long day of work or a rough afternoon. He is a stand-up comedian that also love the Ferrari Sport. He will become an Formula1 Driver pretty soon, making him also the "Passionate Driver" in this household. He provides "Light", simplicity, humility, laughter and jolly spirits all the time!
Then, Comes ME a TWIN sister, 19yrs of age (soon 2b 20)* who has been the PRIDE of the House; I am a professional Surfer who happens to be in the Rip Curl.com Team* and the ONLY girl in the family...lol I love Racing Cars, I am part of Italy's VSR team (sorry can't tell you...) coming in at #66...I am self-reliable, self-motivated, open to change, challenging, confident, strong-minded, good-willed, and I have developed a good sense of humor, thanks to my TwinBro...
NOW we might NOT be the Best Example of "#1 American Family" or anything like it...because we are NOT fully American...we are mixed with: Sensual Portuguese looks, Questioning French looks, Extravagant Caribbean looks, Luxurious Italian looks, and Flawless Hispanic looks....now do we sound "Typical?"....lol
I also have to admit, tensions have risen between my family and I, but throughout our years of experience in life and our own journey of encountering mistakes,lessons, and more experience, we grow stronger and ready to endure whatever roadblocks thrown our way..we are a Family Force, United...complete...supportive....loving...respecting...and Strong!
We Stand Together as one....I LOVE THEM more than anything and GOD comes first, then MY FAMILY, then close relatives, THEN friends...and after the "boyfriends"....lol
*It's okay for you to not get along so "perfectly" well with your parents...so as you see There is NO such perfection to be reached when PARENTS ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO TALK WITH...I guess that is ONE advantage I have been blessed with, I thank the LORD for it, too. My parents always LISTEN and they provide guidance, patience, and freedom into our lives...they are there to SHOW their children the road, its way, but NOT its direction and NOT choose our destiny...they do NOT guide each step of our lives but STAND next to us as we proceed with our live's journey...May God Bless you with patience, wisdom, knowledge, acceptance, courage and strenght....so that you will handle any battle, struggle and roadblock thrown YOUR way....but can't help to fully remind you a Strong Family Chain will help you in these difficult times, also.....
Sincerely,
Your Friend

Its normal for families to argue sometimes. My family is very dysfunctional. just count your lucky stars that you have parents that love you and provide for you.
