Yur family is really wonderful. He that desires to see good days should have cordial relations with family members. Peace like a rainbow will ever shine in their families. Only with emotions of love and peace, we can chain Satan the devil.

Of course I am. My family is one of my proudest achievements, there's nothing else I've done that comes close enough. As parents we mould our children and shape them, I'm very happy with how they are and it's ever so nice to see them smile all the time. People often ask what makes them so happy, I think it's due to them knowing that they have role models around and I really hope they see me as one. Nothing compares to the way you are as a family, it's very important.

there is always difference among the family. actually in yhe other side it is great to have different point of view. but the important thing is we have to still love each other no matter we have a big different.

this is very good that there is a full harmonious relatioship you have with your family. the main reason of all domestic quarrels is that we have forgot god, the divine Maker of this world. The union of two minds is always based on the emotion of compassion and brotherhood.

your family needs to communicate and talk that issues and what's your brother problem and you should show to your brother that you love him and respect him as your brother give him attention maybe your brother just jealous on your relationship with your parents, you better give him attention and care so that he can feel that his belong in your family

This advice is fullof great sanity. Plase don't show any sign oy animosity toward your brother. we should restrain our tongue from what is bad. please seek peace with your family members, and pursue it.

It sounds like that there is some rivalry between you and your brother. This often happens between siblings if one feels that the other is getting more from the parents. It happened between my sister and I as we were growing up. It passes though. We are both married now in our own homes and we get on so well with each other. At the end of the day, we tend to love all members of our family even though we get to go through some rough times from time to time. _Derek

It is sad that you feel that way. Maybe you should talk to your brother about how you feel? Maybe there is just a misunderstanding that can be worked out. In our house, we try to tell each other exactly how we feel because keeping feelings to yourself can sometimes cause undue pain and stress. It may be hard to talk to him though. If you can't, I guess you could try to see why he is feeling the way he feels. Has he been treated differently than you? Sometimes parents accidentally treat children differently and this can cause problems.

I see my parents and my sister every weekend and although I am very close to my sister and we are very good friends I don’t have the relationship I would like with our parents because they are the type of people who should have not have had children because they didn’t bring us up well. It has taken me years to get to the point where I no longer wanted to change them and accepted that I will never have the relationship I want with them. Sometimes it is more peaceful to accept family as they are.

I absolutely adore my family. We are all a bit crazy sometimes, but that is what makes us so amazing! I just told my oldest son (who is 21) that I am so proud of the way he turned out. I am so grateful that he turned out to be one heck of a guy. Of course, he still has a lot to learn, but he is very well rounded and can hold a conversation with a 2 year old as well as a 100 year old. He is smart, kind, caring, funny...and I can go on and on. My husband and I couldn't have gotten a better child if we hand picked him! I can only hope and pray that our other two kids turn out as well...which I am sure they will, but they are still young :-)

I am an only child, so it's just me, my mom and my dad. They are very loving and supportive. Although we disagree on things, I love them very much and am very satisfied with them.

if you're not satisfied, even comfortable with your family, nothing else will satisfy you... also, your insecurities -- if what you're saying is true -- will eventually kill you... always remember, there are no perfect relationships... even in families...

The holy bible has always stories about two brothers. In the book of Genesis, there's Abel and Cain, Abel is the good one while Cain is the bad one. In the New Testament there's that story about the prodigal son, the story also involves two brothers, the other always do good and the one who was called the prodigal son took all his inheritance, left home, and when he had used up all his money, he went back to ask forgiveness and his father still accepted him even through all he did, the other son became envious. I think you could relate very well to those stories. And I believe your parents should have shown more equality with their love and affection between you and your brother. I also have a sister whom I believe is envious with the closeness I have with my parents but I just let it pass and just always do my part as a daughter and a sister. I know though that my sister loves me. Even if you think that your brother doesn't love you, keep loving and understanding him and you could also ask your parents to do the same. To at least give your brother the kind of support they give you. This is the meaning of family. Families love each other unconditionally and accepts each other even with their faults and misgivings. Don't leave your brother in the dark. Keep the communication lines between your family open. Your brother probably feels left out or he feels like his own family is against him and you have to make him feel that that is not the case. The fact is you are actually concerned about his welfare. Keep every family member in the family circle always and don't ever make anyone feel like they're being left out. That I believe should be a rule for every family. Appreciate you family because it is the only one you've got.

Well, I can say that I have the best family. Of course everyone should be proud of their family, right? I have a very loving parents and 3 brothers, 1 sister. Though problems and miscommunication come into our way, there is always a way to resolve these conflicts. In your case, I believe that every member of your family loves you. There are just some cases that people really do not want to show their affection to someone. Cheer up! Happy mylotting!

Try to talk to him face to face. If you're an adult, then just take him for a drink or just by doing things that he likes first, his hobby, etc. Then when he's on a good mood, just start the conversation about the two of you. Tell him exactly what you feel. Because maybe there's a big misunderstanding between you.

I personally never had a mother or father so I cannot say I was ever satisfied as I had so many fosters. But I am happy to say that although it was difficult being a single mother of two that I am very satisfied with God allowing me to be the best understanding and unconditional mother I could be.

In every family we find a lot of quarrels. You feel that your brother doesn't love you. We should avoid filling our minds with such clutter. Have faith in almighty god. the more we suffer, the greater reward we get. You should have helping and compassionate attitude toward your family members.

I'm satisfied with my family..they were very supportive even if there were few between me and my siblings conflicts.Conflicts in the family is just a normal scenario.try to talk to your brother maybe you'r just mistaken about what you think that your brother doesn't love you.Boys just hid their emotions..especially with family matters.
