Are you close to your parents?
 

I'm just curious... Even after 30 years they still get under my skin!!! :disgust SERENITY NOW!!!! :1orglaugh

We are about 350 miles away from each other.

hahaha, thats from jerry seinfeld! That show rules!! :1orglaugh

Yes, im close to my parents. They are cool.

Very close to my mum. I just bought her house off her actually.

My dad, yes I can tell him anything (Apart from my job) but he lives around 40 miles away from me so I don't see him very much. He works a lot and has another family as well.

Closer than i wish, i love them but they still want to control my life.

Yes, step mother included.

My father is my best friend: hands down. I am still extremely close to my parents and see that at least once a week. They are wonderful and I love them a lot.

I do whatever I can to make their lives happy now because they sacraficed a lot to get me to where I am today.

:thumbsup :thumbsup

same here :thumbsup

My dad was my best friend as well. He died this past July. Missing him sucks but my family hangs tough for my mother.

If you arent close to your parents at least try to make an effort.

Sorry to hear that, bro. I would seriously lose it if something happened to my father.

Close to my parents yes. My Dad was cool, being a basektball coach. Most people think "oh that must suck since you were a girl and he wanted to go shoot hoops with the boy". That just wasn't the case. My brother and I both played ball.

We shot hoops until I graduated high school and went to games together and everything. He's a great Dad. Couldn't ask for any better. We still go to games together sometimes. And I still play ball :-)

My mom is pretty cool too.

yep i am

Sorry to hear that. My mother died at a very young age, infact, today is the 23rd anniversary of her death. You are right, making an effort counts, I don't know where my dad (or us kids) would be if it weren't for family.

Yes - I'm close to my parents.

And whatever anyone says - family counts.

I dread the day I have them no more.

What he said...

Whenever I run across difficulties and challenges I always think back to the challenges my folks faced and it just steels my resolve. I always keep in mind that whatever I achieve in my life happens because of the sacrifices and hard work of my parents--I just build on the foundations they laid for me, a good upbringing, an education, a work ethic, and a value system. I can't thank them enough for that.

I can't agree more, we get along great. :)

Glad to report all is good again! :thumbsup

yup, I'm very close with my parents they are my best friend. I am open with them and they are my adviser that's why I'm very thankful for having a parents like them :)

I am close with my family :) my mom drives me NUTS but dad and grandma and grandpa are friggen awesome! Can't wait till i move back to Knoxville to be closer to home again :thumbsup

I am very close to my grandparents as well, even more than my parents.

Im 20 so if i was looking for the worst/saddest day of my life, it has to be when my grandfather died. :(

yep, i'm close to the whole family

Couldn't agree more - I live 1500km from my parents - A few weeks back Mum got ill and I decided to move back to help out my old man - My Mum, unfortunately passed away unexpectedly last week - Coming back and being able to spend some precious time with her means more to me than anything else -
Both my parents knew what I do for a living and I got full support from them - I feel guilty as hell for living so far away for so many years and not being there to spend more time with them both - I will certainly live much closer to my Dad from now on -
You only ever have one set of parents - Don't let them die before you realise their true value to you.

We keep in touch once every two weeks but I don't see them too often as they live in a different country.

I'm close to my mom and dad.. Closer to my dad though. I just finished buying my dad's house (the house I grew up in)

My parents are getting a divorce after 33 years of marriage and that is breaking up the family, but I guess that?s what will make them happy. I am close to both of them and try my best to give back for the great life they have provided me with..

Very :) I love mine very much and they both call me an awful lot to make sure im ok since i moved out :)

Yes, I am. I see them a few times a week and talk to them on the phone almost daily. I'm lucky enough to only live about 40 minutes away from them.

I can't actually say we are... But I greet them every now and then

I'm close to my Moms..god bless mom

My entire family have a very strong bonding; we always talk and we always make sure we spend quality time with each other once every week.

I was very close to my grandmother who raised me from the time I was 2 months old. My mother had visitation rights and I hate her. She doesn't deserve to breathe the same air that George Bush breathes, never mind the air that I breathe. She's a drug addicted, alcoholic, violent and overbearing egomaniac who needs to spend a few years at hard labor before being summarily bled to death by way of paper cuts and rubbing alcohol.
























But the important thing is that I'm not bitter.

I love both of my parents tons! However, I wish I was a bit closer with my mother. A lot of strain occured during my youth as I was primarily raised by my paternal grand mother.

My father are closer to the very good friend level that I would not give up for the world.

One of my goals for this year is to get closer to my mother.

:thumbsup

very close with my folks consider then my close friends

Very much close, I still live with my father though my parents are separated I still get to see my mom.

I have had my share of worst times with my parents, back during my rebelious teen years. Now I have learned to understand them better. I still get to see them on special occassions
