I lucked out and my family are really good and are honestly rather nice people to talk to and be around. But I also really suck at starting conversations, so they’d have to take the lead.
… I’ve recently been trying to make more of an effort to talk to my mum. She won’t be there forever, after all.
My family IS my family and I don’t.
Correct. I give a 2 minute chat with Mom on: her bday, Mother’s Day, and Christmas. That’s it. Not sure how many more. She’s 87.
I don’t speak with my 3 older siblings. I’ll be forced to speak with my sister that lives with my Mom when it comes time to spread Mother’s ashes. If, she let’s me know.
Nope, they’re mostly selfish assholes in my family
If my family weren’t my fame, they wouldn’t talk to me…
That’s what I would say too. I love my family and they love me, but I think had we not been related they wouldn’t choose to be around me. They are rather boring people and their favorite thing to do is sit at home and do nothing. I like to do stuff and try new things. They don’t.
I don’t talk to a lot of people, but there’s no reason I’d specifically avoid them. I lucked out, and they’re pretty cool people.
More to the point, my family are the people who shaped who I am in both nature and nurture. If they weren’t my family, I would not be me.
I live with my family and don’t talk to them.
They’re fine people, but we don’t really share any interests. I’d be unlikely I’d ever meet them.
Siblings yes, just about everyone else no. We have no interests, morals, or politics in common.
I barely talk to them now.
Exactly. I have cut them all off because they are emotionally unhealthy for me.
Nope.
Nah, probably not. They’re fine but I have not much in common with them. I talked to one sibling for the first time in five years last year. I send another a happy birthday text once a year. I talk to the one living parent a couple times a year. Theres no bad blood between them and I.
We are a pretty independent family anyway, always have been. I see friends call up their parents weekly or even daily and I find it so strange to have a connection to them like that. Who just…calls up a family member randomly?
My mom: for sure.
Dad and sister: hell no
My dad, probably. My mom, absolutely not. Of course, I barely talk to anyone I don’t live with, and I’m 38, so I wouldn’t actually talk to either of them.
You’re 38, and NOT living at home??? And you call yourself a millennial…
Eh, I’m married. If I wasn’t married, there’s a good chance I would still live with my parents. Thank God I’m married…
I mean…is your wife single?
…oh. right.
Is it cheating if I’m no contact with my mom already?
Same here. And 3 of my sisters.
Yeah definitely they are cool human beings
