I see at least one of my siblings (I have 4) about once a week. But, we all- except my 21 year old brother- are married and/or have kids so there are usually kids involved.
Not often. We see each other about once every couple months when I go to visit our grandparents. We have never been close. I have 2 other sisters but one leaves in Kansas and the other is 15.
I put often. I see my brother and step-sister all the time. Usually it's with s/o's (or my niece) but not always. I spent all Saturday evening with the whole family and then went to the bar where my brother works and stayed till closing with him and his GF, then stayed up till 5am talking with my bro. We get along pretty well these days.
not often enough. my brother is great. when we have family events, he and i always end up doing something just us. typically it involves running some sort of errand during which he will drive his car in such a way that i fear for my life.
Maybe 2x per year? Usually spouses and/or babies and/or parents are there. I miss hanging out with him, especially since SIL is difficult to spend time with.
Hmmm, never? I have two older sisters and we do see each other maybe 1-3 times a month, but someone is always with us. Oh wait, my sister and i ran into each other at Walmart without kids in January and shopped around together a bit.
Never. He lives about 10 mins away, if that. If my parents didn't invite him to stuff, I'd never see him. Saying we're "not close" is an understatement.
This is exactly like me. I feel like an only child, and it's not for lack of trying on my part. My brother is just a hermit and we don't have much in common.
Never. My sister is a crazy, drug addict who is content avoiding everyone in her family. We were never close growing up, as we are 7 years apart, but it makes me sad that she has made such poor choices in her life.
My brother lives 2 hours from me and we text occasionally and he stops at my house when he is in town. We have a good relationship. My sister, on the other hand, is a complete bitch and I have no desire to hang out with her. After 48 years of name calling and backstabbing, I finally called her out and told her that until she appologized to me, I have nothing to say to her. This was right before Christmas and I have heard nothing. I am not really heartbroken.
Pretty much never. He's 10 years older than me, got married at 24 and had a baby soon after, so there's always other family members around. And after everything that happened with SIL at my dad's funeral, it's been super tense and weird when we do see each other. Next week we get to spend 3 awkward days together with my mom. Eeek.
She comes back home (here) about 4 times a year and every time we spend as much time as possible together.
The other is 10 years old. I rarely hang out with her one on one because she does so many extra curricular activities that it's hard to find time in her schedule. Hanging out with her is more like hanging out with a niece though, so it's not the same. But she's cute
Rarely, but not by choice. My sister and I spent a lot of time just the two of us last summer (both living in my parent's house). My parents were OOT. I regularly would go and visit B & SIL when I was there. SIL would often go out shopping while B was at work. And the siblings regularly get together and just hang out as siblings, no parents there, but spouses and kids there. Now, no so much, since I live on a different continent, but when I'm there I imagine I will spend time with just sister, and with SIL and B. Probably not my other B as much, but that is because he lives far away.
