My family are all very close and have a great relationship with each other, although as a person I'm fairly reserved, so I don't really open up to them or anything like that. But we all get along swimmingly and see each other often. Well, my dads side of the family, anyway. My mums side is a little broken, and my parents are divorced and I live with my dad, so I'm not really in contact with them at all, besides my mum and my grandad.

I have the best relationship with my mum, she's always been there for me and has brought me up by herself. My dad pretends I don't exist and hates me (haven't seen him for ages) he used to always get drunk and he's just silly haha, get on well with my brother/sister in law/nieces but don't see them that often anymore as they live in another town. We generally don't do stuff as a family, and I'm a really quiet person anyway and am used to my own company so I guess I don't mind that haha.

My immediate family meaning my father, sister and mother is good, at least I think it is. We go on family holidays and spend time with each other during them, we interact with one and other and communicate of course. I think we have been lucky with the bond we share, I think not having things like laptops, ipods and such when we were younger didn't create a wall between us and as we've grown older we've taken that knowledge and progressed throughout the years. We still do family things, we go to family parties etc. I might havd just waffled on but I think it's a good mix, we have different personalities which creates a balance too, now I'm not saying were perfect but we get by that's all you can do really .

We see my mothers family more than my fathers therefore we share more of a bond with them. With my frees in college I usually go to my aunties house as she lives about 10 minutes away (10 minutes walk for me; I walk fast) they offer to take me back, they help us out and everyone tends to do that no my mothers side. My immediate family don't appear very big as there's only four people but my aunties have 3-6 children each making a lot of cousins so it's never a dull family and something always occurs. Wouldn't have it any other way!

Yeah I'd like to think my family all have good relationships with each other for deffo, I've always been bought up to get along with my siblings and respect my parents so yeah. Obviously we all have days were we're like eurg cba but most of the time we're fine I'm gonna be working with my mum soon on the same ward so yeah, I guess that proves we're alright haha.

We all get along and there's almost never any animosity between us (aside from maybe WILL YOU CLEAN YOUR BLOODY ROOM from time to time) but I don't know that you'd call any of us particularly "close". I think I'm almost certainly the most distant of all despite being the only one still living at home, as I tend to prefer either my own company or the company of friends over hanging out with my family. Every now and then I'll have a football match with my brother or a very drunken debate with my dad, but generally I keep to myself a lot more than the others. As with Chirs, I don't open up to them about important stuff really

Absolute crap with most of my family lol.

Dad - walked out years ago
Mum - we barely speak to each other because I hate the past I've had with her + I dislike a lot of stuff "she does" today.
Half-sisters - I don't like them because they're so noisy, *****, rude, hyperactive, spoilt etc. Seriously, their attitude is absolutely dreadful, I always frown when my mum lets them have their way all the time lol.

Grandparents - this is practically the only good relationship I have. My nan + granddad are absolutely amazing people in my eyes + I love spending time with them, they've helped me through so much stuff in life and still do. I usually go to them first about anything x

Great-gran - Don't really speak to her that much but she's quite a nice person

That's my entire family lol. I have no cousins, nephews/nieces or aunts/uncles lol. Oh I didn't mention my "ex-"stepdad.

"Ex-Stepdad" - Absolutely hate his guts, everything he did to me when I was younger severely hurt me mentally and I'm so glad that my mum eventually divorced him and stopped him from seeing my half-sisters, I hated it when he came round. I could hate him more but something happened which means I could never hate him 100%, more like 99% lol.

My grandparents are ultimately the strongest relationship I have in my family.

have a very very very close relationships with my mother, sister and maternal grandma. everyone else, blah. haven't spoken to my paternal uncle (others are now dead) in years and don't speak to any of my cousins really.

My family is all spread out across the world, eg some in greece. So we are all not very close. We usually meet up every year or so.

The family I live with - mum and brother - me and mum are close, but me and brother are not close at all.

so jealous of everyone lol. i have a huge family and we live all near each other.

relationship with mum is pretty good. middle brother is terrible and always has been. have always been close to my eldest brother and still am, i get along well with his girlfriend too. i have a good relationship with my grandad and did with my gran too. don't have a relationship with my dad anymore but surprisingly get along well with his sister and her daughter, but not my gran/grandad from that side. used to get on really well with 2 of my younger cousins but now pretty much all my cousins are everything i hate. i get on good with my mum's sisters too so it's not all that bad
