do you still spend time with ?

Question

your parents and siblings since you left home? How often do you see them ?
do you spend time with them like you do with your friends?


**was surprised to read that people think it's 'odd' and 'weird' to hang out with siblings**

Answer 1

Not really.. I dont know why. I see them a lot but dont hang out. My mom acts like we are a bother to her so i just drop my kids off to see her then i leave. Its amazing how when you grow up a little they become human to you and you see all thier faults. I love them but they are different than they were when I was a child and that probably doesnt help. My sissy and I have never really been close. I tried very hard to have a relationship with her but she just always thought it was a waste of time. So to answer your question no but I would like to. I dont think its weird, I think it means your a close family, something I never had and wish I did

Answer 2

Its not odd or weird to hang out with siblings its just a matter of whether u get on with em or not and also there is a lot of what is known as 'sibling rivalry' between kids and this often causes arguments etc which make it difficult to 'hang out' with them. Also age makes a difference, if ur little bro is 3, and ur 16 ... it makes it hard to hang out in the pub:. I get on really well with my parents - i am at uni & go back every weekend but thats mainly 2 c my bf, but them too. They have been more supportive since i have been away than when i was at home & ive learned to appreciate what they do for me as they werent there and i realised how much they supported me. hope that answers ur questions.

Answer 3

Now in my 40's and having an incredible family, I try to see them as often as I can. My wife and I are having a cast party at our home, a colorful group, and my parents will most definitly be there. When I first left home I probably did not see them as much as my friends but I did see them often. It wasn't until I got married when our time together became less frequent. If people think it is odd or weird there are two issues. 1. they are jealous. 2. your a mama's boy. As for siblings, my sister and I are the closest of friends. My wife and her brother are the closest of friends, in fact we are all off to Alaska this May. Gotta love family, Gotta love friends.

Answer 4

I see my parents and siblings about every other weekend. I talk to mom and dad almost every night and I facebook or e-mail my siblings at least once a week. I think that family is VERY important! I also see my boyfriend's family about every other weekend, and I e-mail or facebook his sibling at least once a week.

I am surprised that people would think it's odd or weird to hang out with siblings. My sisters are some of my best friends! Who else gets all the years and years of inside jokes? And who else can you embarress with really funny childhood stories? And who else is so like you in so many ways, and so different in subtle ways?

I know that some people are more "friend" oriented, and others are more "family" oriented. I guess both ways are fine, if it makes you happy. For me... I am definitely family oriented. And I consider by boyfriend and his family "family". :-)

Answer 5

Used to see family and sibs whenever I could. Would hang out with my brothers all the time. We always had such a good laugh together and tried to make the most of our time before I headed back to Scotland.

But since the brothers got married, understandably, things have changed. Now we see each other maybe once or twice a year. Sadly, our relationships have suffered and we aren't as close. Guess the wives must be happier, though. : )

I keep in touch with my Mum often. She is still a constant in my life, as was my Dad until he passed away.

Yeah, people would find the close bond I had with my brothers unusual. But the hardships we suffered as kids made us stick together and watch out for one another.

Answer 6

I choose i'd desire to bypass on a holiday,for a holiday if this is clever yet i understand i might omit each and all of the kinfolk and the exciting of our regular previous style Christmas,for that holiday there relatively isn't any place like domicile.That mentioned,No i'm no longer spending alot.We by no ability do.each physique gets some thing clever.And this 12 months I actual have discovered many deals!attributable to the economic gadget i assume.It basically takes a sprint looking.i'm able to't spend extra no.I actual have the cheap and doing superb with it,i'm exceptionally much accomplished procuring so in the event that they're waiting for Dec.figures they'll say they fell it is not authentic,precisely maximum persons have in simple terms shopped extra valuable this 12 months and not spending extra effective than we would desire to,which i think of helped us all relatively,to work out the holiday journeys extra valuable.reward.

Answer 7

I still spend alot of time with my sister. She recently moved away but before that, we went drinking with each other, movies etc. She's like a really close friend. We still make a huge effort to see each other now she lives away and talk at least once a week on the phone. Why would it be odd to be close to a sibling? You spent a huge, important part of your life with these people.

Answer 8

I left home at the age of 16 and got my own flat, my twin sister did the same thing, as did my eldest brother. We all see each other every day and if we dont, it will be the next day. We all see mum 2 or 3 times a week, i see her nearly every day though.

But we have all had a REAL hard life, so the only thing to keep us going and to remember where we came from and who we are, we rely on each other. We fix each others feelings and are there for each other. We argue LOADS but we are so close, there is nothing i wouldnt do for my family, nothing.

Answer 9

yes i still spend time with my parents and my siblings and their kids. We dont live too far from each other..so I do see them often and more so on big occasions....special birthday/easter/thanksgiving/xmas......in teh summer for bbq's.....it's great getting all the kids together , the whole family*
It's not weird* to hang out with your siblings* Other ppl may project that as being weird, probably because theyre not close with their family*
Hang in there, and keep on seeing your family/sibblings.....You never know when life can be taken from you* GOdBless

Answer 10

I live close to all of my family.
I spend about once a week round my parents house where i see my brothers. And i see my sister nearly everyday. We also go on holiday each year,This august we are goin to turkey 4 two weeks.
And i would not have it any other way. Families are important.
Your question is NOT weird its good!!
