Hello Friends!!!! I am so jealous when i see some families that closed to each other and they're like a friends, Their sharing about problems, secrets and love as well. I like this way if i have my own family, because i grow up and we are not closed to each other and i really don't know why. How about your family guys? share your closeness here.. Thanks and Happy Lotting to all...

hi! yes, it is realy very close to each other. in my home town where there are the most of my relatives, my parents live near my grandmother and my aunt, and they go at their place every week for at least 3-4 times. we spend all the holidays together, all the birthdays too, and we are just like one happy big family, where everybody cares for the rest :)

I am close with my family we have worked on beingthat close though. There was a time when my brother and I fought like cats and dogs an couldnt be in the same house for long periods of time but it got to where we realized that withou our parents we have no one else. So decided to work on etting closer and being able to be where we are today where we talk about thins.

My priority on my family is to be very close to them. Its so nice to live on a house with unity and love. Being close to your love ones is a sign that we are practicing love with our family members. A better person usually comes from a family with good relationship. Good attitude starts in our home and as we go out, we were able to practice it. We must always remember that one part of fulfilling lifes purpose is to have a good relationship with our family.

Mine is a close enough family. We discuss things, but have boundaries. I think it is important to share some things and better not to share others. For instance, I do not think it is wise to live too close to each other. I also think it is best not to discuss some aspects of one's marriage with other family members. I was always closest to my mother, but she is gone now. I spend a lot of time visiting and talking on the phone with my dad. I do not talk to my sisters or brothers on a daily, or even weekly basis sometimes, but I know that they are just a phone call away if I need them.

My family is close to each other, my grandparents and my parents live in my house and sometimes my dad has some discussions with my mother, but not anything that big. So yes, my family is close.

I consider my family to be close to each other. We regularly communicate with each other and visit each other. I see my close family at least a few times a month; since I do not live with my brother. My relatives I see a few times a year and talk to quite often. My grandparents I talk to at least once every other week and I visit them a few times a year. We share things and try to work it out together which is a nice benefit to have, because I know a lot of people who have no one to come to when they need help that's related to them. Occasionally we get in arguments, but we are one big family.

Hello _SKY_ :) I'm happy to have close relationship with all the members of my family. Maybe that's because we are only two kids. I'm sure that it's really important to be able to share thoughts and problems with your parents or sisters/brothers as they are closest people we have. I can't hide anything from my brother fpr exmple. he notices in seconds that there's something wrong with me or if I'm too happy :)

We are close but not in terms of sharing secrets or our personal lives. We usually just joke around, eat out or go to malls.

My family and I have been close almost our whole lives. The main person I have a prob with is my lil sis but we've always fought then made up and all that. but just like one person said earlier today that the older you get the closer you get. And if it ends up not being like that then who cares b/c there are families that are out there that are crazy and will never be a "family"

Yes you right. Im happy for you that your family closed almost whole life and thats so nice.. Have a nice day...

Actually, my family isn't the super close type. Let's just say we don't usually talk about our personal problems that much. But, we sometimes do talk about it. There are times we share our experiences and we laugh from time to time but we're not that close. I guess sometimes we don't talk to each other, it's just that I guess we have trust and we wait to let the other member open up.

At least you can talk with your family. Try to close and open up to each other.. Have a nice day...

My family is very close. I love it. I only have 1 sister, who is married now but I have lots of cousins. We used to go to the beach every year together. My moms 3 sisters and their families. My cousins are like my brothers and sisters. Now that everyone if getting older we don't go to the beach every year anymore but we do a trip together every once in awhile. My cousins and I try to get together at my grandmothers at least once a month. I feel so lucky to have all of them. Until recently I thought everyone was as close as we are to their cousins. The down side to this, if you want to call it a down side, is missing your family when you are not with them. I spent a few months in florida last year and missed my family terribly, I was lucky enough to have them come for a visit, I was working at Disneyworld so it wasn't to hard to convince them to come. Once a year we have a huge family picnic to catch up with the extended family, we play baseball, have egg tosses and water ballon fights. My family may be a little bit crazy, but I love them and wouldn't trade it for anything.

Yeah..I missed going to the beach with family,friends and relatives.. Have a nice day and god bless..

If you want love, you have to give love. If your family are not loving you, you are not loving them. Jealousy is not a loving emotion. Try to focus on Love and be thankful for your family. Always think of them first in whatever you are doing. Make their lives happy and fruitful, and they in turn, will make you happy and fill your life with Love.

I have a big family but unfortuntely its not a close family. Most all live all over the US from New York to Florida to New Mexico and California. Its a shame and I have always wished for a close family but my family seems to be always competing and never really happy for each other when good things happen. We also have people who like to brag and I just don't know how I ended up in this family. However, I guess its better then being totally alone without a family.

Hi lelin, Oh sorry to hear that.. Im sad and i hate competing in my family. Family must unite and not competing. I hope someday your family will be closed to each other. Have a nice day...Happy Lotting...
