Are you closed to your relatives? Do you treat them like friends, are they wellcomed in your home and you visit them often with pleasure? Or may be the contacts between you and your relatives are cold and distant, the meetings between relatives are boring for you?

I wouldn't say that I am close with my relatives . I have one cousin I am close to but she would be the only one . I have always considered myself the black sheep of the family and don't believe any of them understand me . I care very much for all of them but I am different from them and honestly don't know what to say to them anymore when I run into someone from the family . I would never be cold or distant and would help any of them if they ever needed anything as they are my family but don't have the connection with them that you normally see in families . I would have to say that I am much closer to my husband's relatives then my own .

yes, i have relatives that is closed to me..but there are some that are not that closed because they are kinda high people..we don't visit them regularly because we have far houses, but we texting sometimes, and if there are gatherings, we've seen each other..but not daily..and when we've seen, there are lots of talking and greetings..it's fun..

There are some of my relatives that I really get along with and don't mind them coming over my place.

I am very close to my relatives. I was raised that family comes first. My family knows that I have an open door policy. If one of them need something all they would need to do is ask. I try to have as many get togethers as I possibly can. That way we all can spend time with one another. My family has always been there when I needed them the most. They are my best friends.

I am not close to most of my relatives. I have Aunts and Uncles who believe that their children can't do anything wrong, even though their child has an arrest record. Or other relatives will compare each others children. Doesn't matter if your son is on the high honor society because when he played basketball he wasn't the top player. I can't stand it when relatives act this way.

In general i'd say that i am close to most of my relatives. Obviously with some I have a closer relationship than with others, but i don't have a bad rapport with any of them, and with most it's very good. That's the way it should be, right?

I am very close to my relatives. Even the ones who live in other states. When any relative is in my area they know that I have an open door policy and they are always welcome here.
