My sister lives in Japan, and I've still managed to see her twice in the last 3 years. To be fair, we also "needed" a reason to visit Japan 
She is moving back stateside in a month, so I'll be seeing her a LITTLE more frequently, but not that much more. She'll be in NO and I'm in Boston, but I'll probably see her once a year, same amount I see my parents. My nephew was born last April and I haven't met him yet (we Factime, though, and he's the best), so with having him back in the states, I will probably try to see them more often.

This thread makes me sad. I only have one brother and we are very close. He lives in my basement and a stand up guy. Never had kids and never been married. We work together so we see each other every day. I cannot imagine life without him. He always has my back and I always have his. I can’t imagine seeing him only once a year. Everyone is this thread seems not close as me to their family. Guess it is like the old saying “ain’t nothing like family to make feel so damn alone”

My brother died 3 years ago. My two sisters live about 20 miles away. I see them maybe once a year. We talk every couple of weeks, but I don't see them that often.

Text/call my brother at least a few times a week and see hang out about weekly most of the year. We are in the 35-45 age range.

Just saw my kid sister(she's 34 months younger) today to drop off her girl scout cookies. Talked for 10 mins.outside our cars in the cold, 42 degree drizzle in south Atlanta. Me and the wife just had dinner w/her and her hubby(whom we both love) (her 1st husband was a mascara wearing, emotionally abusive douche) in Midtown Atlanta 3 weeks ago.
We fought a good bit as kids. Nothing out of hate/spite, we just have different personalities. But we have grown very close as we've gotten older,especially since our dad died in June of '18. He raised us by himself as a single dad for 5 years from 89-94. So you can imagine what our family dynamic was like. She'll be 37 in April, I'll be 40 in June.

Caring for an elderly parent so we talk daily and see each other about once a month.
Probably wouldn’t be nearly that often if it wasn’t necessary.

I have dinner with my brothers almost every Sunday. Our parents passed years ago. It’s tough being without a parent in my 30’s.

I live in the Pacific Northwest and my family in Georgia and NC. I don’t get to see them but once every other year or so, but try to talk/text often.
The last two years were the exception when I saw my family three times in two years. I traveled back to Baton Rouge for a funeral and saw my entire extended family for the first time in 12 years, again when my Parents flew in for a couple of days after Christmas and then this past November when I stayed with my brother in Asheville.
It hurts at times, not being able to see them as often as I’d like.

My sister and one of my brothers live within 30 miles of me. Haven't seen them since Christmas 2019. No falling out. Just haven't seen them. Not close.

Couple times a week typically

I see one sister 3 or4 times a year, she lives 12 hours away, moving down there when I retire.
I don't see the other one. She is a half and a bit older, they didn't like each other's husbands so I picked one. I had a couple of arguments with the one I don't see, was maybe an a-hole for my part but I don't care to pursue it. There are other problems.
I think people see each other less as they have more ability to live where they want. It is a tradeoff. Communicating with each other isn't as good as in person but its not like if you live across country it takes a week to get there by train or for a handwritten letter to get there.
My grandparents siblings all lived in the same county.
My dad at least had a couple of siblings in town.
None of us live close.

quote:different strokes for different folks i guess. just being family doesnt mean you are bound to be best buds for ever. i have a good relationship with my parents who i see and speak with very regularly. my sister is just my sister. nothing against her, but if we werent family wed never interact with one another. just is what it is. my best friend growing up was in a classic mexican catholic family where he had a bunch of siblings. his oldest sibling was a brother who was 16 when he was born. how could he possibly have a relationship with him, or any of his older siblings who were out of the house by the time he was 6. just is what it is sometimes

He lives in your basement, but instead you use working together as the reason why you see each other every day?
