How well do you get along with your family?

[Babs]

I get along pretty well with my family. Even though there are a few I genuinely do not like (they don't like me either) we hardly fight or anything. There's occasionally some stupid shit but we get over that pretty quickly. So other than a select few I manage to be pretty good buds with my siblings and to a lesser extent my parents. We're all essentially the same person anyway.

So how well do you get along with your family?

edit: actually, upon thinking a little more there's plenty of dysfunction but it's mostly shit we laugh about. We used to fight all the time but I guess since we've all grown up we've learned how to get along for the most part.

There are no relatives that I get along poorly with. I don't fight with any of them or anything. That said, I feel very removed from my cousins (and therefore, my aunts & uncle) on my father's side. They're all older and cut from a very different cloth. There is one cousin on that side who I get along very well with, but I don't see her often as she's married to my cousin (she is the wife of my biological cousin) and has a young son. Otherwise, I see them all a few times a year, including more distant relatives, and don't enjoy myself, but at least I'm not fighting with them.

I'm a lot closer with my mom's side, which is also much smaller. However, I've been feeling more and more disillusioned with them, particularly my aunt (my mother's sister), who has some very hateful views towards Muslims particularly (and other offensive ones towards trans people, for example). I also don't approve of the way she deals with her divorce and some of the ways she parents my little cousin, of whom I'm very protective; she's like a little sister to me. My polar opposite, but still. Nonetheless I still love this small side of my family and I enjoy myself when I'm with them (as long as we stay on safe topics, obviously), but as I get older I find that I'm tolerating the bigotry less and less.

I love both of my parents and they love me, but recent events have put strains on my relationships with both of them for very different reasons. Fights and guilt trips are pretty frequent. I also love my grandmother, who lives with my mother, but she's very nosey and has no filter or boundaries, which often makes me uncomfortable.

We get along fairly well, although there are times we don't, but overall we are always happy.

Aristocrats said it pretty good with dysfunction
Me and my dad got along pretty good, but we were more best friends than anything
Me and my uncle, we pretty much much tolerated each other
Mom, well what can I say, she's a bitch, and im being nice
Keith and Ann, I think we get along really good, they set limits on me I've never had before. It gets me upset and mad, but I know they love me, sa we have our moments. It's like how parents are suposed to be. And I kinda like that...

I get on pretty well with my family. I argue sometimes with my parent but that's usually about grades or something we forget the other day. With my cousins I don't speak very much but we get on well when we do.

[Rickmckay111]

I get on with my mum and my oldest sister, my otha sister (older than me too!) is annoying tho!

I don't like my dad that much coz he works away all the time and wen he comes home he doesn't really speak to me, just argues

[Sailor Mars]

My family is pretty fuckin dysfunctional. They argue all the time and can't get along, but on the other hand, I wouldn't say I act horribly with them. Individually, they're good people, but together, they're fuckin crazy.

My parents and i get along pretty well. We hardly fight, but we do tend to disagree and have really deep discussions about that. They dont treat me like a child and I think that makes all of the difference in the world.

[Andre 99]

my family is also a little dysfunctional.
I get on with my close famiky (parents, sister, cousins, aunts & uncles)

[NCronter99]

Luckily, my family and I get along very well. We trust each other a lot and talk about everything together

[Desuetude]

Probably the best I have in my whole life at the moment and I think it's all due to age. My mum and I are civil now, we very rarely properly fight anymore. My dad still makes things a little difficult but its his personality and can't be helped. I love my little sister to pieces and can't believe the 14 year old me that said I hated her. Now, the only problem with immediate family is my parents almost non-existant friendship falling apart more.

My extended family kind of look down on me because of the way I dress and present myself. I have a massive Indian family so I'm not going into extended family because it'd take years. Let's just say I feel inferior to them.

[Abyssal Echo]

I wont say I don't get along with my family ie aunts (which includes my moms sister that's told both me and my mom many times that we're not family), uncles, and cousins. Since they all live in another state. We kinda have an understanding.... you stay in your state and I'll stay in mine and we'll get along fine.

[KidWithTheHeadband]

With my dad, I'm a basic disaster. If I don't watch what I say around him I'll essentially get jumped on and lectured about how I am wrong and how he is right. He's threatened not to help me at all with college. Had a normal conversation escalate into a massive one sided arguement with him yelling at me about how I "don't know anything" and storming out of the doctor's office. I just sort of avoid him to be honest and just nod my head and say "uh-huh" to most things he says as to not set him off.

My extended family is just a big POS. For lack of a better word, they're vile, and inconsiderate towards others. (One of my aunts called out my step-mother for having "weird eyes," shes blind.) My uncle has threatened us with some BS awhile ago. But now things are all "lubby dubby" now.

That's kind of the issue with people in my family. They say the vilest things: "I want to rip out your teeth with dental pliers" (Uncle->Dad) but then suddenly turn around and all lovely to each other. It's quite sickening at times.

And now the same thing is happening with me and my dad. With him threatening me with things but then brushing it aside like it was nothing.

So yeah, my relationship with my family is rather strained.

Mom is great.
Dad is pretty good.
Brother is okay, but can be a turd.

[PinkFloyd]

I get along very well with my family. Both my parents are very good at being parents. They accept and support my gay little brother, and overall, do a very good job with us. My grandparents also accept my little bro. It's amazing.

[Henri-K]

There's only me and my mum in my family. We get along pretty well. Shes pretty open to everything. We might argue but nothing serious

[Unknwn]

I guess I could get along better with my family...

[Emerald Dream]

I get along fine with my mom. Of course, we have the occasional disagreement, but I can't remember the last time we had an outright argument. I guess that's a good thing, since we are the only two who live here. My brother and I are on good terms - he lives pretty far away, but keep in touch fairly well.

[eric2001]

Most of the time things are pretty chill. Every once in a while, my parents point out thngs that I mess up. Oh well....

[Jaffe]

Immediate family, I get along really well with. I do get angry at times, I tell my parents to fuck off and leave me alone, normal stuff. But mostly we get along really well. And they just ignore me when I get like that. My little brother, we are pretty tight. My sister who just went off to uni, we were never close, but she did help me and we got along. We have the normal amount of dysfunction, I think ... heh, 3 teenagers in the house has to have that effect.

Extended, my dads side I am not close with, although this past summer I did kind of make a connection with my grandmother. On my moms side, which is huge, I really am close with most of my cousins, even though a lot of them are quite a bit younger. There are none of them I do not like, and I like spending time with all of them. I am especially close with my grandparents on that side, as close or closer than to my immediate family.

[Cadanance00]

I get along well with my dad. I think I'm his favorite although I found out I'm really not biologically related to him. My mom is cool but strict.
My half-brother is 3 years older than me and doesn't have much use for me.
My sis is 2 years younger and we're like buds.
There's not much arguing in my house, people seem to work things out okay by talking it out. We sit down together once in a while like family therapy and everybody gets to say what's bothering them and nobody can argue back.

[pjones]

i get along great with my family. i give my parents a hug and kiss goodnight every day, if i'm staying with a friend i do it before i leave. my friends think it's cool i still do this. me and my brother are super close, can't ever remember us getting into a fight or real argument.
