Me and my family just seem to put up with each other as i commented in a previous discussion and we dont really spend any time together, we are around each other everyday but dont hardly talk, we dont even watch tv together do you enjoy spending time with yours? as at the moment i really dont! does this make me a bad person?

i dont think that it makes you a bad person but i guess the head of the family must initiate for the family to follow. that house no longer sounds like a home it looks like a boarding place already. family inside but hardly talk and deos not sepnd too much time together. sounds like a boarding house to me.... well i guess people at a boarding house talks more then you guys do. if i am the head of that family i wont allow that to happen. i will make sure my family will all sit down and tell me whats wrong and make sure we eat together if everybody is at home. just my opinion.
i have a wife and a three year old son and we always stay together if possible. i am also the first born in my family so i make sure that my other siblings visits my mom as well. i make schedules so that we are all together and eat together at my mothers place.

It is a shame i cant remember the last time we ate together, some might say that im too old to be living at my mums again but its only temporary as things have gone a bit wrong, i always hoped i could rely on my family when times were hard. Thanks for your comment and fair play to you for keeping your family together as it seems a hard thing to do for some.

I am very sorry to hear that you don't have a very close relationship with your family. I have to say that I am the opposite. I talk on the phone with my mom several times a day, I visit her house at least once a week and we talk to eachother on facebook a lot too. I love my family. I have a husband and two children who mean the world to me. I would rather be spending time with them rather than doing anything else in the world. They are my life and without them, my life wouldn't have much meaning, I hope that one day you and your family can become close. I know that I would not be the person that I am today without my family. I think that it is hard for some people. especially if you don't get along. I hope things go better for you. Happy mylotting.

Thanks its nice to no that people do have it good with family, i think some of it comes down to the fact that we have always been quite poor and had to struggle through life scrimping and saving so times have been hard and i spose when we have really needed to pull together to get through we have. thanks for your comment.

Well there are only 2 of us at home now, and we live and work together and we do talk a lot,
Communication is the key!!! Listening is where its at!!
I enjoy the time we spend together, but we do both go off and do our own things as well from time to time.
Just because you dont enjoy spending time in this manner with your family does NOT make you a bad person, why would it?
What do you think would help make family time a bit better in your household?

Its awkward maybe we spend too much time around each other as the saying goes absence makes the heart grow fonder!

I am currently in the position you are in with being around family, but not talking, etc. Right now my wife are going through a rough time as a couple and the arguing never ends it seems. My wife is very loud and is often verbally abusive towards me and the kids at times, so I usually go by myself to a solitary place. But when things are going well, I do enjoy doing things with the family such as movies, festivals, dining out, parties, family gatherings.

Its horrible when the only communication you have is in arguments isnt it, i hope things get better for you.

I do like to spend time with my family, my immediate family that is! My boyfriend and my two kids! I try to take time every day and just chill with them and talk or whatever. And we usually don't watch much TV together cause we like different things, but we do have a few shows that we all sit down and watch! I love my family=)


myLot reputation of 93/100. loneraver (148)   ranked 21 out of 234 in spending time with family  3 months ago

Sounds good. It just seems to me that as much as i love my family i dont enjoy their company does this sound awful? Maybe im just paranoid and things are more woderful than i think!


myLot reputation of 83/100. crys7881 (196)  3 months ago

lmao I think if things were wonderful you would definitely know it!!

In such situation, nowhere is you at fault. I must say that yes, I really enjoy being in my family. They all care about me. Actually I'm in hostel, away from parents. They miss me a lot as I do. And when I go back to my home after a long time, or even a short one, they really love me. We play indoor games together. I remain busy in some funny stuff always.

I hope that its just that weve drifted apart abit and in time maybe we will get closer, i do hope so as i feel quite upset about it sometimes!

I love spending time with my family! We all interact very well together. We love to tease each other when we're happy and console each other when we're sad. My favorite thing that we do as a family is gather around the TV to watch The Jay Leno Show every night.


myLot reputation of 93/100. loneraver (148)   ranked 21 out of 234 in spending time with family  2 months ago
