Family Issues

I happen to get along well with most of my family, now.

I'm very close to my mom and my siblings. Also close to most of my aunts and uncles.

There are a few members of the family that I don't associate with due to their stuck-up attitudes.

Oh...but don't get me wrong, I've went through rough patches with both my mom and my dad. Luckily they were at separate times. Unfortunately, me and my dad never regained the close relationship we once had.

As for how I do it? Not quite sure. We have our occassional fights, but it's not constant chaos.
My best advice, is take a step back and try to see things from their point of view.

Maybe you should all sit down and have a talk. I know this sounds cheesy, or could end up with a massive screaming fight, but it is worth a try, and if things get let out, people cry, you all could become closer. And it could stop the yelling and you all could get along.
Just an idea.

Yup.

One thing you should do is, let it go. Do not interfere. It always has a way of working out itself.

i just iggnore them lock mi self in and keep the key hidden who needs them i dont

I like the pitching a tent idea...build a fire while you're at it. And if anybody tries to come in, just let them. Destroy the tent together if it'll bring you closer together...

I usually get along with my family by cracking jokes. And if you've got a tough crowd, just leave it be.

I can't even have a yelling match with my mother. If I do, she'll think I'm going bad or something and will bring up the past and belittle my friends.

So I avoide talking to her when I'm mad at her. Like today for instance, she made promises she couldn't keep, and the reasons why she couldn't keep it boiled my blood.

Instead of having a screaming match with her, I don't talk to her unless it's really neccessary. Just give her that Leave-Me-Alone- look. It's most irritating, I learn that today. =)

Just be careful, if she's anything like my mother, she'll yell at you for looking at her wrongly...or not looking at her at all for what matters.

i dont get along with my family at all..i live with a foster family and it is just as worse..all the yelling..i swear alot when i yell when my mom would leave to go out drinking id slam the door. shed come bak in and slap me across the face.the yelling drives me insane.i have 5 siblings when we used to live together it was just screaming all night and some hitting. i learned to live with it..i take my stress out my breaking things, hurting myself(trying to stop, i realy am) and well i closed myself up. i sometime would lock myself in my closet and just sit there. when id here the yelling stop id go down stairs to find one or both pearnts gone..that was when they were together...

Do I get along with my family? I LOVE them.
Yup, we have our ups and downs with each other
But as we love each other we always forgive one another
Easily. There’s never actually a fight between us just
Small arguments sometimes and then again that rarely
Happens. I love them all. My mum and dad, my
Big sis and lil bro and also all my uncles and aunts
And cousins. We just love each other.

When you receive a dirty letter from your beloved
You will become so happy because it carries your
Beloved’s message in itself. you kiss it, you hold
It as if you’re having a treasure in your hand. It’s
The same with the people we see around us in our
Everyday lives. they hold a message from the loving
caring lord. So, we should love them no matter who
they are or what they do.

I'd give more than i care to think about to have a family to shout at.

So even though i know it won't matter to you....you should appreciate any family you have while they still live..annoying though they may be.

I get along with my family as long as they aren't freaking out for some reason. I do the 'quick, get out of the way and out of their sight' thing when I see some ones upset. Expecailly my little brother, he really scares me some times.

I try to avoid asking too much of others, expecailly my parents or other long-hour working members of the family. I do what I'm asked and try not to argue to much unless it's in a playfull matter... And even then I have to try not to get on the nerves of the other poeple in the room. ^.^

my family and i get along pretty well. some of the members drive me insane but at the same time i know that i like it in the end and wouldn't want it any other way. there are three members though that i would not have the same. i gave them plunty of chances it's just they always dissapoint me. for example my grandpa.

for my mom and dad they drive me insane at times but they have a way of making it impossible to stay mad at. sometimes if they say something that upsets me i won't tell them i just find a way to make them think about it (long story). my parenst for the most part just talk to us as young adults and not little children and it seems to work pretty well.
