Love my parents and sister. However, may two of the four uncles from my father's side burn in hell for all eternity. I wouldn't give them the gum off the bottom of my shoe to save their lives.

My family's huge, loud and all over the place, but I always know that if anything comes up, if I need anything or just support, they'll all be there in a heartbeat. Love them to death. They're one of the most important things in my life, and if a person I were to meet wouldn't like them it'd definately be a deal-breaker. Sure, my sister can be a pain at times, and my brother can be a bit overprotective, but you can't get along with everyone all the time. I know that I can trust them, and that's what's important.

I was watching my nephew for a few minutes while my sister went to take care of something, and she jokingly told me to 'guard him with your life'. At that moment I knew that I would, if necessary. And I'm not the self-sacrificing kind.

I can't really stand my family. My mother's side is filled with backstabbing people with stage smiles, and my mother herself is chock full of mental disorders that she'll never take responsibility for. I think I'd be cool with my father's side but I've never really had much opportunity to interact with them.

Thankfully, my fiancee's family is really cool and they've readily accepted me as one of the family.

Lovely people, but preposteously conservative. They've got their reasons, naturally. I love them, but we don't work together terribly well, it must be said. I try to stay at their house only for short times.

Father - He's alright, a little emotional at times, and that can mess with his ability to think clearly, but that's to be expected due to

Middle Brother - Asshole. Enough said.

Little Brother - Pretty awesome, and a damn good drummer. He tries his best at gaming too, bless him.

Lil' Sis - She's autistic, but also ridiculously cute, and despite being loud at times, she's one of the few people I know who can make me smile involuntarily.

Mother - Caring, though - like my father - cut off from so much that I do (mostly my fault, I admit). She is however, slightly delusional, in that she gets very upset at the idea of my youngest brother and I not supporting our middle brother in later life.

There you go, escapist, make of it what you will.

[sub]Oh, and as many have attested, our kittens are adorable.[/sub]

My family seem to think that the fact they're blood relatives gives them a free pass to base our relationships entirely around expectation, guilt tripping and rhetoric.
Family shouldn't be about expectation, it should be about love.

My "cosmic family" as it were display absolutely none of these things. I will probably cut all ties with my blood family pretty soon.

Mom = I get along with her better than any of my sisters. She's pretty cool.
Dad = Have no idea what happened to him.
Siblings = I have 3 sisters. I get along with the oldest fairly well, the second oldest has had it out for me for as long as I can remember, and the one closest to my age is probably the one I get along with most. Though, I fight with her more than I fight with my other sisters.
Step father = He's not technically my step father, but he's been there from the gate so.

I also have a brother in law I'm pretty close with.

Mom is a but naggy, but I totally love her.
Dad is the funniest person I know.
Brother is cool.
Gramps on mother's side is totally awesome. A 75 year old boxer is the best grandfather you could ask for.
Grandparents on father's side are the complete opposite. They're insufferable.
And I love my cousins even if I've only met them twice and they live 4600 km away from me.

I love my family.
The ones who haven't disappeared or turned out to be jerks.
They're great

I get on really well with my parents :)

My dad: Yeah, I am a daddies girl, I will be the first to admit it, but my dad is into ice hockey, American football, Rugby, videogames and practical jokes, but knows when to be mature and when push comes to shove he is always there to provide financial and moral support when we need it the most

Mum: She is absolutely wonderful, and has always stood by me no matter what. She is also great fun to be around and has a wicked sense of humour :D

My brother: He is one of my best friends and videogame buddy. We can talk for hours about videogames, comic books and cartoons. When I come and visit, we always make time to hang out and play videogames and watch cartoons. I remember the time we went on a total South Park binge and watched nothing but South Park seasons 1-4 in one sitting :)

We have our arguments like any other family, but we all get on like a house on fire :)

Hmmm, this can't be summed up with one phrase so I picked Kittens Are Adorable (Although I do think that) and I stil live with them (i'm 14) so here's what I think of them:
Mother - I do love her but I get so annoyed with her a lot of the time.
Brother - Same as my mother but he annoys me more, but i'm also with him more because we go to the same school.
Grandmother (Mother's side) - Always complains, always is annoying, I still love her though.
Grandfather (Mother's side) - Plays no important part in my life whatsoever, I don't like him that much.
Cousin - He annoys me a lot sometimes but we do get on really good for the most part.
Dad - I get along fine with him, don't live with him though so he doesn't play a big role in my life.
Other Grandparents - Died long before I was born
Captcha - I HATE THE FUCKING BASTARD!!!!!!!!!
As You can probably tell, my relationship with my family could be better and I would love it if my relationship with them was better, but I just can't stand them for more than a couple of hours, I push everyone in my life away and then get really lonely, then again I am just a really angsty teen so i'm sure the problem will fix itself eventually, I hope.

Mother - Ehhh....
Father - He's alright. I get on with him fairly well.
Middle brother - He and I are pretty much inseparable. Aside from a good friend of mine, he's effectively the only person I actually trust any more. Though, funnily enough, I haven't come out to him yet. >_>
Little brother - FFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU------

Mother has boundry and anger issues, complains about how others act despite doing it herself. Can't dish out her anger fairly it goes purely at who is around and who will take it.
Brother is a drug addict. Big anger issues. Steals alot. Split personality.
Dad is great similar likes and personality. Great at dealing with people, although was a bastard when i was yound always sided with my brother who bullied me, because it became a battle between parents instead of which child was in the wrong..

My Parents are good people even if my mom can be a little over zelous with religion, moat of my aunts on her side tend to be this way while the men are indifferent. We get along for the most part but I can kind of be a bit of an ass and tend to start shit. It's gotten a little better since I live on my own.

I'm a little more distant with the extended family on my mom's side due to my actions during my younger years and me not being a stunning conversationalist . On my dad's side I'm a little bit closer more so becasue it's a smaller group.

Mom- Love her, but she can be really annoying.
Dad- I respect him, but since I am apparently a clone of him at my age, I butt heads with him a lot.
Sister- I love her, but she's the moodiest ***** I've ever met.
Sister- She's my favorite out of anyone I'm related to
Brother- I love the little runt, but he's such a sissy.

Immediate family:
Mom - she's nice, but way too overprotective of me and nagnagnagnagnagnag
Dad - he's nice too, but he gets angry way too easily
Overall - meh, I prefer kittens.
More distant family:
Granddads - they were both great, but are dead now
Grandmas - are still great
Nephew - great guy, but seems a bit stupid/naive for his age, but maybe I was just above average at his age, and am comparing him to myself, but he's certainly scores better than me at social intraction [sub]he's 3 years younger than me and has started dating earlier chronologically V_V[/sub]
Nobody else worth mentioning, really.

I would say that overall my relationship with my family is just kind of ok. I'm 19 and still live at home with my Mom and three of my brothers.

Mom: Works very hard to take care of me and my two brothers who still live at home, but she also puts a lot of responsibility on me with little to no thanks for all the shit I do to help keep things running smoothly.

Dad: I don't talk to him much due to long lasting resentment towards him due to how he treated me and my two older brothers when we were kids. He's gotten a lot better since my parents got divorced and I got older, and he is very supportive of me going to college.

Oldest brother 24: He's a cool guy, although he has some issues psychologically (severe depression and anger issues) due to how my dad treated him. He just moved back home to save money after living on his own for the last five years, he also works in a porn shop.

Older Brother 20: We used to be really close but recently he converted to Mormonism and has started to preach at me a lot which has caused a lot of bad feelings between us. He is only a year and a half older than me but he thinks he knows so much more than me. I don't see him much cause he and his wife live in Texas where he's stationed for the Navy.

Younger brother 17: He thinks he is smarter than me and likes to mock the fact that I still live at home and don't have a job.

Youngest brother 15: Typical 15 year old, he thinks that everything everyone else has to say is a waste of his precious time.

My dads side of the family is mostly very conservative Christians which leads me to have to hide a lot of my personality from them because they are really judgmental. I love my Grandparents though they're both good people (although I think my Grandpa may be a pathological liar according to him he overheard a couple of CIA operative plotting to assassinate Diem back in Vietnam). I don't know most of my mom's family due to a lot of them being dead and the ones I do know are really old and will be dead soon(my Grandpa and Great Grandma died within six months of each other, it was a rough year for my Mom.)
