Family...

[elephant_lost]

I wonder how many people nowadays get along with their families...it seems whenever I talk to someone they are having family issues..or not getting along with family........
Personally I do not trust my so called family...and there is a reason for that but it is so fucking complexed I don't want to even get into it.....

[Anouk]

I've had some trouble with my family, during highschool. But the tension and the arguments stopped once I moved out. I studied in Breda during weekdays and went home for the weekends. Now, things are fine (luckily). But I do know when it is time 'to go'. Tension builds up again when I'm around for a longer period (holidays, etc).
I'm currently staying at my parents house, due to an workplacement of 5 months (I couldn't find a place to live nearby, unfortunately). And I already notice that my feeling says I should be living elsewhere.
But if everything turns out ok, I should be able to find a place of my own (actually, for the two of us ... :) I can't wait to move in with my boyfriend!) this summer and find the perfect fulltime job to go with it. :)
Don't get me wrong, I love my family - but I'm just aware that I need my own space (a lot!).

[elephant_lost]

I was kicked out and a bunch of other bullshit...found out somethings....guess it came with adult hood :\

That's awful. :(
Do you still have good contact with your brothers and sisters?

[elephant_lost]

no not at all :\

My bro is in jail and my sis went back to the people who got her into drugs :/

and I'm adopted so.....meh...

[Interficio Nocte]

I am, slightly fine w/ my family.

[faithinanything]

Family is a rough topic for a lot of people including myself. problems come and go but for the most part it always works itself out and i'm going to be 21 soon so a lot goes on with family in general at this age (atleast for me it has)

[Shadow Clone]

I am, slightly fine w/ my family.
only slightly?

Well i get along with my family however somtimes they get annoying but thats life.

[Strifer]

I almost never see my father but the others I usually see. Therefore I choose neutral.

[Cathryn]

I have a relativly good family life.
It's up and down as any is, but in the end whenever we do fight it either turns into laughter or the fight hangs on for around 3 - 4 days, but thats usual for us. xD
I've had serious fights only when i did spur my dad on extremely badly and he basically pinned me against the wall and threatened me, i ended up staying round my nan's for a couple of days, but in the end of it, he balls himself up for a while then ends up bursting all his fustration out on somebody who spurs him on.
But my family is definatly better than most of my friends, they seem to live in this disfuctional family where its a constant array of drugs and step fathers, mothers and constant fighting.
I'm glad i have the family i have.

[BUTTCHEEKIES, OOH]

I only love my ma <3 Although I have a dad, I've never really considered him as one since he's practically never around. I mean, I havent seen him in almost two years whut. LITERALLY.

There's also my elder sis who I'm pretty distant with and my lil sis who I get along with from time to time. Can't really complain about my situation, considering peeps ain't even got eat.

[Strifer]

Buttoh, the same with me. My father is never around and I only see my mother. really I am a little bit tired of my mother since she only thinks about herself and not what I think about my father. Really misses him. really you can say I grew up without my mother and father. Only for six years but afterwards only moving until I got sick for four years ago. Like now I am shizopreinc. I get used to it but still I miss him and my mother is not what I wanted her. She is just a worrying person to me. She alwas worry about me. Sighh...... I can't change my mother but I really never had that supporting mother ever. This is sad but life is hard. This is my story......

[Elyse]

Well, I'd be complete liar if I said I get along with my parents and siblings 24/7. I'm the youngest of four. In order, Emily (23), Erin (22), Brad (he goes by his middle name, Matt is 20) and me, 17 (18 tomorrow ^_^). I do love my sisters but I tend to be closer to my brother just because I'm a bit of a tomboy (I'm into video games and sports). We do have our moments (which isn't all too often) where I'd bicker with one of my parents, sisters or brother but the anger only lasts for a few hours and then we end up talking about whatever (whats good on t.v., etc.) and forgetting about the argument completely. We may not be perfect but I love my parents and I think they have raised my siblings and I quite well compared to the home life of some of my closest friends.

[Flames Of Oblivion]

I have to say I dont always get along with my family but other than that we get along most of the time. my parents are really generous but I dont always admit it. I have to say I am really greatful my life is as good as It is ^^.

[Cactus Girl]

We get along. I tell them what they want to hear, and they don't question it. I'm perfectly happy living that way. I live far enough away from my family they won't find out about every little detail of my life.

[Devious]

Eh it's alright. My parents are seperated but it's never really bothered me. I get along a lot better with my mom though.

[Strifer]

This is not THAT bad Elphy?:nagase:

[Patsie]

I'm happy with mine. I'm pretty close to my brother and sisters. I'll say that i'm closer to my mum than my dad, no reason really; the guy just doesn't know how to be corrected, he hates being corrected and if you do he feels like you're looking down on him.

But no one hits each other, the worst thing one family is doing atm is smoking so that's nothing at all.

[IBeatSephiroth]

In my family there is kinda a hierarchy, in which I'm second from the top. My siblings and I fight occasionally, but we argue at least once a week. Despite this, we generally get along most of the time. My youngest brother and I are so well synched that we do almost the same thing--we're great at co-op Resistance. I'm happy to live with one parent--actually, life's never been better.

[Vanisher]

i dont hate them , but i didnt get along with them.


then so... neutral? or maybe "no"...

[Bun]

My family and me get along pretty well (other than my step dad <_< that guy is such a tool sometimes). But basically my family is my rock. If there's only one thing I need in this world, it is them.

I mean sure, we have our moments, but that's only natural. I'm very lucky to have such a supportive and awesome family.

[elephant_lost]

You all are lucky to know your families...your real ones for the most part...
My family is full of violence, drugs and alcohol.....I was abused as a child, in a verbal way I still am and was disowned pretty much...got kicked out of the house....I was and never am invited to anything....even my brothers funeral.....but I went anyways...I am very very distant from my family...
:\

[Allen Walker]

I get along fine with my family. The only problem I have is when I'm forced to do stuff.

[Lost Thought]

My family has is incompatible you can say (even though at times we all get along okay) :/.My family can't go a day without arguing (ironically we all have short tempers) and my parents (especially my mother) are pretty vain (from jokes to criticism) .My mother and father complain that everyone else in the room is smelly and look like slobs,and intellegence which I'm mostly irratated by.When it also comes to outside family I never saw a relative in years (maybe 2-3 years) and those memebers were on my father's side (I never saw anyone from my mother's side,and plus she also hates her family aswell).

When it comes to family bonds I feel that my father is closer to me (because he seems to care for more even though both parents treat me like a 5 year old) and we get along actually it's just that his laziness and sarcastic jokes offend or bug me.My mother and I though never get along,we mostly hate each other but deeply like any normal mother and daughter relationship we love each other.

Personally I voted my family doesn't get along because even though we love each other (my parents don't like each other at all though) we are incompatible and we get into arguements alot and they offend me because honestly I'm pretty sensitive (when I was younger it was worse,I ran away from home twice).But after a day of voting on the poll I'd rethink and lean towards a more of neutral answer.

Poor elphy. I hate people who do that to their kids. It's not right.

[Interficio Nocte]

Pretty much. My dad grates on my nerves, and my mum is awesome. But my sister is WAY to peppy and bossy.

So, most of the time it is fine.

And yes Elph, that is very sad. ; ;

At least you have other people who care for you. ^^

That is such a sterotypical ideal american family. :wub:

[Interficio Nocte]

I KNOW. Its freaking creepy. 0.0

Plus, me and my sister are polar opposites which makes it even better. :aldo:

When you put it that way, I do feel lucky. My family, although crazy and ultra conservative, is still supportive of me. They all (my mom, dad, brothers) love me. Everyone in my family, including me, is very non-confrontational and laid back, so there was never really any yelling in my family (nobody likes a raised voice) and we rarely argued, even me and my brothers. My mom cooked home cooked meals for us almost every night, and we ate together around the dinner table. My biological parents are still married and still very loving to one another after 29 years of marriage, so I have no step siblings or parents. It sounds very corny, but I think my family is as close to the 1950's stereotypical Leave it to Beaver family as you could hope to find in this day.

[pupucachi]

I have good parents. They love me and so do I
Don't feel so bad, ele. We love u

[Misschoco]

we fucking love you elphy :cookie:

I hate how some narrowminded individuals seem to suppose that other familys are perfect and have no dysfunction whatsoever....at the same time considering their own spouse to be the very breed of satan :aldo:
Anyways Im quite tolerant towards idiots not so much nagging so my mums a whoer and my family seem to lack IQ.

I think umbilicll cords are actually next-generation prototype IQ absorbing vortexes. It's why kids are ALWAYS smarter than their parents, with a few exceptions.

The downside being your raised by idiots.Then you have the generation of high expectations business parents.Their kids seem to 'fail' in our eyes and theirs.
What seems to annoy me is somewhat ignorant parents who bombard you with questions and at the same time refuse to listen or answer yours.somewhat hypocritical?

[skirtgirl]

i'm not getting along with them. my dad doesn't care about me, ever since he freakin married my evil step mother effer---LITERALLY! they had three kids and my dad has been ignoring me since. he doesn't listen to my stories and everything, and gets mad for no reason at all.

[VeraAlexander]

I get along great with my family, though i can only trust my sister and brother, whose names will remain hidden.

[SquallEX]

I love my parent,but I hate my sis so that make me neutral

[TEA TOWEL HOLDER]

OLLOLL. I voted yes ages ago but as a whole family... it's changed D: My mum and two sisters I get along with. My soon-to-be step dad is cool too, but his two daughters, eventually my step sisters, are idiots.

It's too much to go into cos I'm lazy, but basically they think my mum is trying to push them away and kick them out so she can have their dad all to herself which really isn't the case. :lol: They've made up these stupid occurrences and now hate her. They're both retards. They say my mum manipulates their dad into doing "things"... but when I asked one of them for an example of any one time such an event had occured, she couldn't think of any.

[Nox]

It truly depends. They can be very nice people and we all get along, or you can have them yelling and throwing hair dryers at your feet, calling you a "spoiled bitch."
So neutral. <_<

[topgunffx]

for the most part i do, i mean we argue some,but all families argue. No family is perfect. all you need is love, and parents that actually give a shit about you. if there is love involved i believe it will always work for the best. Families tend to do better when the parents stay together IMO. I am not saying that those of you that have parents that divorced are bad or anything.

I honestly don't know where i am going with this so just gonna stop there lol.

[Darling Heartilly]

My family's very... unconventional, but we get along fine. My parents are from really posh-ish families, but they're basically the screw ups, so I get to live in chav land yet everyone close to me is really posh. They split up ages ago but I see my Dad almost every day 'cause he lives so close. Their arguements are so funny! They almost always end with my Mum smashing a plate on on my dads head.

I have two half sisters, two half brothers and one 'full' brother, I never think of them as 'half, though. My oldest sister's 30 and my little brother's 6. Most people I'm related to are very eccentric, to say the least. It gets so much better (or worse). God, I've rambled again >_<. Anyway, yeah, love's the key, I suppose, no matter how freaky your family is.

Aww, that's really sad Whaler :( Are things a little better now?

[Dream Machine]

My family irritate me greatly. My father and I don't get along and say about three words to each other every day, my brother is a douche but he's moved out so I hardly ever see him. I like my mum but she depresses me, I wish she'd divorce my dad and get her life back, he drains all her emotions and time and she's obviously not happy. It depresses me.

Plus my fathers rampant homophobia and strange behaviors surrounding certain images make me think he's a latent homosexual, he just needs to run off with a pool boy called Raul or something and leave my mum and me be :lol:

[conected87]

Well there's always up's and downs in a family so i'm neutral
