Probably not often enough. As we got older our lives just went in different directions.

Older brother - about once a month, but text nearly every day. We’re pretty close.

Little sister - once a quarter, maybe, and it’s usually when she wants or needs something. Not close at all.

I have a sister and two brothers.

Talk to my sister about once a month.

Talk to one brother about once every two months.

Used to talk to my other brother about once a month, but he has been going through some tough times, so recently we have been talking about once a week.

Have 1 little sister that lives out of town. We text maybe every other day maybe talk on the phone once a month. Also send random snap chats and tag each other on random social media post. Also see each other averaging every 4-6 weeks.

I have one living brother, I talk to him maybe once every week or two. He is a very negative toxic person. I wish we had a close relationship because we don't have much family at all, but it is what it is.

I see my brother 3 or 4 times a year when he is in town and then at Christmas. My sister I see 2 or 3 times a year including christmas and then my other sister I almost never see. I don't talk on the phone to any of them.

Pretty normal, knowing someone is genuinely there for you at any time is far more important than talking weekly.

ETA I guess i mean that sounds like a strong relationship moreso than whatever normal is. It is how I am with my brother

I talk to my brother (older, 6yrs apart) every other day and hangout every weekend. See my sister (older, 13 year apart) every Tuesday. We have family dinner every Tuesday at my parents house. Something is wrong if you don’t talk to your immediate family.

Not really. It’s our preferred medium.

Wish I could have the option to choose not to talk to mine anymore. Maybe you you should appreciate what you have.

Once a month maybe. I lived with them off and on for 18 years so that’s plenty

Not once in the last 8 years.

Most likely it will be through attorneys when our parents pass.

I talk with her kids regularly.
