While they might get on my nerves the odd time, I :heart: my whole family and consider myself to have an excellent relationship with everyone as both a son and a brother. :)

Yup, good relationship. It was a bit rocky when we were younger, but now we all get along great. (So much so, we all work at the same company. )

I don't get to see them often, but that makes me appreciate them all the more.

Ditto.

The older and younger get into arguments often, but I'm okay with the way things are.

Being the middle child ain't that bad :)

We don't always get to choose how excellent the relationship with them will turn out, regardless of how great we may or may not be... sometimes they make the choice.

Touche; I'm going more along the lines of where the family friction is the cause of the complaining bitch of a disowned son. ;)

I have a great relationship with my family. My brother can be...intense at times, but a good man nonetheless.

My fam and I are incredibly close. My two brothers are my best friends and my parents are awesome. Only problem is I live 3700 miles away from all of them so I miss them a lot. I love going to visit as often as I can.

I have a great relationship with my family and my wife's family. Life's too precious to deal with over-the-top drama all the time, ya know?

I am very blessed to have a loving family. They are quirky and have their own faults, but they are all special to me and i love them. Now that i am a grown up, we have a great relationship and it makes me so happy.

I love all my family. A couple members (mainly my sister :p ) get on my nerves a lot, but family's all we've really got in the long run. My dad's away right now in Alaska serving on a boat, so whenever I can talk with him, even for a few mins is greatly appreciated.

I understand that situation (little less than 3700 miles though ;)). I'm in Alabama, my parents and sister are in Ohio. Right now, though, my little brother is the furthest away (Iraq).

Nope, I do not have a great relationship with my family. I love my father and we spend some great times together. I have no relationship with my brother. I couldn't care less where he is or what he is doing. We haven't spoken in years. My relationship with my sister is OK. Nother special, she is just OK. We don't have much in common and I have a hard time having a conversation with her, as she seems to have about the same IQ as a grapefruit. I don't like my mother. She is very critical of all the people around her, and is always giving my dad a hard time. So all in all, I guess I would have to say that I like 1 out of 4.

I get along well with my family....After my mom passed away, the three of use really got close. I probably fight most frequently with my step mom; its rarely serious, but annoying at times.

Nope, I'd like to but they're not worthwhile. Nothing angsty here, just not everyone was born into a good family.

My Mom and Dad died 3 and 6 years ago respectively, 24 yr old brother and 17 yr old sister and myself get along incredibly but big bro is going to Iraq in March.
