If this ever happened to me, it was when I was so small that I can't remember.

My mom didn't try to sugar-coat things for me; she didn't give me more information than I needed to know (i.e. didn't vent to me about family problems) but didn't try to hide when there were problems, either. It may be simpler/easier in the short run to pretend like everything's peachy & gloss things over (and not have to make awkward explanations...), but in the long run I think it's better for kids to know the general situation all along than to suddenly find out.

Well, it's not that she tries to sugarcoat it, it's just that I, like my Dad, have a tendancy to end up as the person people confide to. My Mom always jokes about how instead of coming home with lipstick on his collar, he'd have mascara because my aunts or whomever would end up crying on his shoulder. Over the past view years I've realized that I also have the tendancy to draw someone aside and ask if they're okay if they seem not to be, but that's something I think of as normal.

My favorite relative is my Uncle Brian. Every time he comes over we always play games, swap comics, and talk about current events in stories we're reading, and IRL.

He's awesome.

since he works as a barmen/DJ, he always takes me out and kinda protects me against the wolfs.

My cousin~She lives in the other house owned by my landlord. We usually meet up on weekends at our favourite Lebanese restaurant and shop for confectionary at Marks and Spencer

My favorite relative is my mom.
That's because she always knows in every situation, how to talk with me.
As a mom or as a friend or as a psychologist. Some people may find that wrong, but I like that.
She's always aware of the way I feel and she knows how to make me happy when I'm sad or how to give me hope in life.

my family.... uhhh....and relatives... i don't think my relatives notice my existence.

well, pretty much, they hardly even call. no calls, no letters, no effin emails. and we aren't even invited to family reunion just cuz my dad's dead. and same with my mother's side. just see them once a year >.>

so basically, no interaction with them, no reason to care.

they can go to hell, and i wont even yawn at it.

no fav, no hated, noone knows the real me, no one knows ME. not even my mother or brother.

so.. i don't care about them. the end >.>

Haha poor tps having to deal with pedocousin, but he sounds funny. My mom's brother (my uncle), is probably my favorite relative because he is like a big kid. He really never grew up so he is very fun to hang out with.

I'm not really fond of my family...but if I had to choose my favorite, I guess my aunt...she used to take care of me and take me everywhere when I was little.

My cousin and I were best friends. We stayed in the same crib as babies; We still held hands and took baths together up until junior high; Her grandmother used to suspect us of being lesbians.

We sort of just drifted apart during high school though. I hung out with my crew of Hitler-worshipping, anal-retentive, elitist snob friends, and her with her mob of sadako, mini-skirt-wearing, nail art worshipping friends.

I've never met a person that I was "close to" ever since. My bf doesn't cut it. Too bad.

Polite bump.


Meh, I don't really have strong familial ties. I just happen to be born with them around. o_o I used to get along really well with one of my cousins, but haven't really talked in 4 years or so. I have awesome and kind parents, and my brothers are okay when they're not being annoying.

I hate when my mom tries to control my life too much though. >.<

I have no favorite relative.

My 26-year old cousin O_O!
Fun to be around with, and is probably the most sensible out of most of my relatives. xD

I love my younger sis, she n I are like close friends more than sisters- due to geographics, we dont talk as often- I am lazy in long distance but we can tell each other things we cant tell anyone in the world ... which is what we do when we get in touch...but we fight like b****es when we get into the occasional tiffs..
