i think it's really sad how about 70%-ish of you replied with "no" or something along those lines.

i could never imagine going through my life without being close to my family. I make sure to takl with my family at least once everyday. And not just like, HEY! HOW'S THE WEATHER...like really talk. and things like going out to shop or out to eat are like...just even more time to spend with them. It's not even close to my only chance.

i feel like i could tell each of them anything.

my parents try, but we always end up fighting. our family time is when we're arguing.

my brother and i's bonding time just comes naturally... he starts playing guitar and i bust out singing and then he starts singing and then i bust out the guitar and well.. yeah. our left hands get sore after a couple hours.

Lucky.
I wish my family was like that.

I cant even talk to my parents about anything.
They dont even know Im depressed.

Yeah... I never really tell my parents anything.
I try to let them think that I'm good and innocent and stuff...
Oh, but if they only knew.

My mom seriously thinks I'm insane. And she trys to be nice to me and stuff, but when it gets right down to it, she doesn't really give a shit about anything I have to say.

Sometimes I feel like she thinks being my mom is a job that she never wanted to take, but she has to do it anyway.

I hope someday I can fix things between us, but it's not something I can do alone.

We try to, and sometimes it happens. But at the same time we're all busy and have our own stuff to do.

Sometimes. My family is always busy, so we don't do "family time" often. Maybe the only time is like sometimes dinner.

I guess I'm close with my parents..

Not as close as I used to be though.

I know I'd be close to my siblings if I had any

me, i'm so close to them
even though we sometimes have a quarrel..
we still talk that much
i really wanna maintain my closeness w/ them
coz u know!
others said *life's too short*
there might be unexpected things that may happen..

*don't want that to happen*
i'd be satisfied if i have my first priority w/ my family..

like what if i'll be dead one time on an accident..
it's ok,i have a great time with my family..=_=

+u know my point?+

weeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!! 0_=

They try to be with me.
Personally, I dislike them. The three of them and me are polar opposites. If they were my age and went to the same school, I wouldn't be friends with them.

I do, and I'm 21. I'm the oldest to. Soooo, now we all pitch in and get drunk and play video/card games. :P

well my mom and my oldest brother for the most part but my dad is distant even tho he lives with us. i dont really like spending time with anyone cept for my brother but im forced to not go out by my dad who is never home ie: well hes a professor at college and until summr i rarerly saw him cept for the morning when he took me to school, now if im unlucky enough i will see him if i stay up late.

I reserve Sundays for family time :]

I said that to my mom once...
And she cried.

Dinner together most nights...

Occasional outings and such, but not, like, dedicated 'family time'

I guess so. Forgive me Lord.

I do.

Same with me. Now that I go to school across the country, when I'm home, I try to spend as much time as possible (before I go insane). My sister is sick so I try to enjoy and cherish each moment I have with her.

well, we don't have 'family time' but we all get along really well.

it's sad that most of you say you don't get along with them .. :\

eh, we'll go out to dinner once every so often and maybe a family vacation here or there.

My mom thinks I'm a crazy slut, and that no one could ever love me.
Who could ask for more?

only real family time is when we go on vacations. otherwise my sister and i have our own lives lol

Yeah, I play cards with my mom and step dad. Um, occassionally we go to different things. Like small Irish concerts and stuff like that. Tug boat festivals.

It's not bad. I mean, at the time, some times I wish I was some where else, but try and think about them. What are they thinking about? I know my mom loves it when I spend time with her because all of my other brothers are gone.

So, if you don't spend time with your family because you don't want to, then you're a f**king idiot. As for you other people that can't, I'm sorry. There's nothing you can really do.

Well, is she wrong? I mean, there had to be something to give her that impression. Right?

Yeah my family
goes to movies together
and swims in our pool together.

I like spending time with them, just not so much in public.

Yes, she is wrong. Very wrong. She just found one of my AIM conversations where I was cursing and stuff, and now she thinks I talk like a slut, and that I possibly am one, even though I'm not.

& According to her, "Because of the way you are, no one could ever love you," and, the ever classic, "He doesn't love you, your boyfriend just wants to have sex with you."

The fact of the matter is that she barely knows anything about me to begin with, and I can't believe that she would judge me this much from just a couple lines in an AIM conversation. So now she's got the compleate wrong idea about me, and I dunno what to do about it.

As for the crazy part? She's allways told me I was crazy, and she only says that because she doesn't understand me and I'm different from her. But that certainly doesn't mean I'm crazy, and she has no right to say that to me.

So that's me and my mommy. She's just a charm, wouldn't you say?
