How often do you talk to your siblings?

moonstone523 · February 2012

I consider myself pretty close with my sister, but she is Miss Dallas Socialite and doesn't have time for her own dog, let alone me. I feel like I am the one reaching out to her more than she does to me. I know we live two very different lives and all is well when we meet up for girl weekends, but I sometimes wish we were closer. Oh well. I love the girl.

I have 8 brothers and sisters and rarely speak with any of them. An older sister and I just recently started speaking again and hanging out on the weekends and I speak to my youngest sister a lot (she's 13) but the rest, I don't really talk to unless its commenting on FB.

Seldom. But my brother is 10 years older than me. We were like two only children. To be honest he is more like a cousin to me.

I keep up with him through my mom. Ha, isn't that sad?!??

Old stepsister - Virtually disowned by the family at this point, so never.

Young stepsister - Every few months. She lives here, so we try to get the kids together. She's 1000x more busy than I am though, so I def. try to give her space.

Half brother - At holidays.

Half sister - I get updates through Mom, but we talk every 2 weeks or so now that she's getting older. We also skype so that DD can see Mom, Sister and their dog. The dog is the most important right now.

We email everyday, talk maybe once a week and see each other maybe 1-2x a month. We just started to become close in the past couple years as we are 6 years apart.

I only have one younger brother. He is about 3.5 years younger than me. We talk almost everyday even if some days it's only through text. He lives only 3 blocks away so he is over all the time to see his niece and nephew.

Older brother (Wisconsin) - a little here and there on facebook or text. We actually talk on the phone about once a quarter. When saying good bye last time, he said, "well it's been nice catching up, I'll talk to you in about three months." That's his humor, though.

Younger brother (Washington) - I'm closer with him, so a little more frequently, maybe an actual conversation on the phone or skype once a month or so, but some texting and facebook messages, too.

Not a lot, but it's enough.

I have two older sisters. We speak pretty much all day everyday. One lives about 8 houses away and another about 4 miles. My mom is about a mile away also...yeah, we are crazy close.

I have one sister who is six years younger, so we didn't become friends until we were both in our teens. And at that point I was already living away from home, so we've never had a very constant flow of communication. Nowadays she lives in GA and we email and text maybe once every 1-2 weeks and have a phone coversation once every 2-3 months. We like each other but don't talk very often. She barely ever even comments on my FB stuff- lol!

SCJB143 · February 2012

I have 5 siblings, (4 now that my sister passed away 13 years ago) I'm 61/2 years younger than my sister, and she is 6 years younger than our brother. So I used to be close to my sister, until a few years ago. She changed A Lot! And now we only talk at family GTG's, even when I keep her kids one of her ex's brings them and drops them off. My brother and I were always close, but he got mad at my mom at Christmas and now won't talk to anyone! My other brother and sister I was never very close to. Altho I just found my niece on FB and started talking to her.

I talk to my sister (6 years younger) when I call my parents house and she answers. She has Down Syndrome, so its a bit different than some, not too much though. So I'd say we talk at least 1x per week.

I have an older brother (5 years older) who made the choice to remove himself from our family. I haven't spoken to him in 12 years, when, on my 20th birthday he told me "Everyone should do acid at least once in their life".

MrsMEW · February 2012

I'm really close with my younger sister (2.5 years younger) but she lives in FL and is super duper busy all the time, so we rarely talk. We do text/FB comment probably once or twice a week at least, but very, very rarely do we speak on the phone. She does usually come to visit me once or twice a year though, and naturally I see her when I go home for a visit.

Aegis2005 · February 2012

I have a younger brother and I either talk/email/text every week or so. I actually touch base with DH's sister a lot more frequently, we talk/text/email almost daily.

blondeG8Rbride · February 2012

Everyday. And since I told her the news, she has been texting me non-stop with baby names, cool products, etc.

MrsShawanaB · February 2012

I have a brother who is 3 years younger and we did not really become close until college age when we both matured and could relate to one another. Now, I talk to him mostly through FB but he is a computer-guy (works for a video game design company) so that's really his communication method of choice. We talk on the phone every other week or so for a few minues, he's just not a big phone talker. I love when I get to see him which is every few months - he lives in SoFla. He's hilarious and just a really sweet person. I wish we lived closer or we talked more, but I do consider us as having a close relationship. I have a very nuclear family - mom, dad, brother, me - and I'm lucky that we actually all genuinely love eachother and enjoy one another's company.

2poodles2Love · February 2012

I have a sister that is four years younger that me. When I lived in Florida we talked on the phone probably every other day and would text often. Now that we live 20 mins from each other, we talk everyday! I love it!

tashaandsage · February 2012

My brother is 3.5 years younger than me, and we are very different but get along well. We don't really text or call each other that much, except when we have a specific question for each other. Mostly though that is because I talk more with his wife. We are pretty close and talk/text multiple times in a week. Our older children are very close, so we get together often.

Melis74 · February 2012

I have a brother that is 12 years younger than me from my Mom and StepDad, we are very close, though he is in the Marines and is in NC currently...but will be out in a few months! We talk several times a week through Text/IM/Phone. He comes here to visit as often as his military leave allows.

I have two sisters and two brothers from my Dad and StepMom that live in TX. Sister #1 is 3.5 years younger than me, we talk a few times/month usually through email/text. Brother #1 is 6 years younger than me, we talk on the phone the most, usually a few times/month. Sister #2 is 10 years younger than me and we pretty much only talk on FB. Brother #2 is 11 years younger than me and really don't talk that much, his wife and I talk on FB and the occasional text. The oldest sister comes to visit me every other year, the oldest brother comes to visit once/year. I go to Texas to see everyone at least twice/year. We all get along great and if we lived in the same state I'm sure we would see each other at least once a week and talk every day. I really wish I could get us all in one state, I love my fam!

dvroxy · February 2012

I talk to my sisters on a daily basis really. I see my older sister every morning (she's 9 years older than me) because my mom watches our kids. She and I are a lot closer now that we both have children the same age and that we are both teachers. My younger sister is my best friend. She is five years younger than me and in college in Gainesville and I miss her terribly. I don't get to see or talk to her nearly as much as I would like (we communicate on FB and text on a daily basis), but it is not enough. I hope that MacKenzie and her new sibling are as close as my sisters and I.

StingShark425 · February 2012

I talk to my sister every day- we gchat while @ work. before we figured out we could gchat, we probably talked 4-5x/week.

I don't talk to my step-sisters at all. We just don't have that kind of relationship where we are going to pick up the phone and chat. We talk on FB occasionally.

I only talk to my youngest sister when she is here w/ her Mom, or if we go to their house (which is never).

lj_n_tj24 · February 2012

I have 4 older sisters, one that lives 10 minutes away, the other in Miami, one in San Francisco, & the eldest in Dubai. We usually just get together on FB lol. You would think I have more time talking or hanging out with my sister that lives 10 minutes away but our work schedule is so off we barely see each other. But regardless of how often we all talk to each other I still consider us close because when we do get together its like we werent far apart at all.

cliffswife_721 · February 2012

I'm really close with my sister(5 years younger) but she's also very busy in grad school right now doing her PhD in BioChem(yes I know haha) and I'm busy with work events but we still talk about once a week for at least 30min-hour, if not longer haha. We try to get together every few weeks for at least lunch or a pedicure since I work close to where she lives & goes to school :-)

ChangeOfPace · February 2012

I have three older sisters- they're 7, 5, and 2 years older than me respectively. I talk to each of them about once or twice a month on the phone. There may be an occasional FB comment or e-mail exchanged, but that's rare. I'll see them all when I go back to the states in the summer. I would love to talk to them more, but they pretty much never call me so the once a month or so I call is enough.

I generally enjoy my relationships with my oldest sister and the my sister that is closest in age with me. My middle sister, on the other hand, is a piece of work. I am thankful we do not live near each other because I don't think I could tolerate frequent interaction with her. Even from 10,000 miles away she finds ways to make our relationship difficult by posting rude comments on my FB and sending me angry ranting e-mails for no reason.
