Do you? My family is moderately close, but not too much. My mom and I are fairly close. My dad and I are not in contact. Both of my grandmas, and my mom's siblings and their marriage partners (AKA my aunts and uncles) are close to us.

My family used to be when my parents were alive when my father passed away in 2002 things changed .My oldest brother well no longer talk to my oldest sister and vice versa .Right now my sister is very cold to me after I was outed to her she has not been the same to me she did send me a xmass gift so there is hope but our relationship is very strained .

In India, family bondage is very high. People hang on together for decades. My family is very close. My parents and we live together without any problem. People in India respect parents as living gods. They draw inspiration from the parents as long they live. Send parents to home for aged is a western concept, many people are now subscribing to this idea.

My family is very close. I talk to my mom on the phone almost every day. My brothers live in other states, but we e-mail each other all the time.

We have a very close knit family and a very large one. We are always getting together over someones house and the girls cook and off course the men watch football. Then the girls have to clean up. You know the usual. But I do like it. Its good to see how everyone is getting alone in this crazy world we live in.

my family on my mom's side is pretty close. but not too close and my family on my dad's side isnt' close at all. i just met him about 5 years ago. my grandma and i are close. my dad and i aren't really close but i want him around because he never paid child support and it's nice to have the extra money if i need it. he makes a couple g's a week. so he can spare a hundred. but i am not close to anyone on his side of the family. my mom and i are kind of close. my sisters and i are kind of close too.
