Alright, so how well do you and your family get along? I didn't add a poll cause there are to many responses...

Me, I love my parents and get along with them awesome. But my brother and I hate each other, and can't even talk without yelling at each other. So um... yeah, that's my family.

Well, about 90% of the time I fight with my brothers. I get along with my mom really well, but me and my dad are always on edge with each other. He's just a very forceful person whereas I'm a calm laid back person. Maybe its not a clash of personalities, we just don't get along all the time. It could be worse though. My aunts and uncles and my grandparents are just awesome. I actually have cool cousins too. So I'm pretty happy with my family.

I grew up with three brothers in a small house, which meant we had very little personal space, which inevitably led to a lot of frustration. So, we fought a lot growing up. So much so that my eldest brother once broke my nose.

But, as we got older, the arguing became less and less frequent but much more serious. And, after a massive argument, my brother and I haven't spoken in about a month. And, my mom and I haven't spoken since we had an argument a short while ago.

So, to answer the actual question. Not very well.

Like Dawson and his family, our fights aren't that often, but they're pretty serious when they do happen. Due to four people living in a one room apartment, we're all pretty much living with little to no privacy. My other family members out of my direct family/people I live with, they're all pretty gossipy, so that leads to fights a lot.

After a pretty big fight, my brother and I aren't on friendly terms, and won't be for the foreseeable future, my mother and my brother also aren't on the best of terms. So all in all, it's a pretty fun home to live in.

That must have been some serious thinking. ♥

That said, I get along pretty well with my family. I do get frustrated with their ways once in a while, and can tend to get absorbed in what I'm doing and ignore them. ._.; But otherwise, my relationships with them are very good. I think, in particular, my relationship with my grandfather has improved a lot since I started school. We do my math homework together almost every day, and he seems to respect how hard I try in school. All of that makes me happy, because until recently I didn't feel like I had a lot going for me, being a grade school dropout. XD;

Thanks for that. And trust me, serious thinking in this house isn't always a good thing.

My family and I get along pretty well~ We do have a few fights here and there, but they're pretty frivolous.. (You know.. arguing about cleaning up and stuff~)
.o. But other than that, we really like to spend time together and stuff~ :3 Like a little while ago, we all went out to Medieval Times~ And sometimes we go out to watch a hockey, basketball, or lacrosse game at the Air Canada Center~

So.. there are much more good times than bad~ :3 And we all love each other <3~
@@ Sometimes I don't understand why families don't get along ._. I personally think that a family should stick together because I think that family's really there for security~

I pretty much get along with mine. My parents are pretty cool like that. I hardly fight with them because I'm the good child. I don't get in trouble or anything. Hell, sometimes I feel spoiled compared to everyone else. D;
My little brother... meh, overall, we like each other more than hate each other. It's just sometimes my little brother gets annoying and I yell at him for it. We don't get into serious fights at all.

I get along terrible with my family~
My mum...she doesn't even live with me.
Dad neither.
My Auntie treats me like a sister and is always picking faults with me/argueing.
My Nan..well she starts yelling for the stupidest things.
And my Pop, he's just in the middle to sort us out~

I don't get along with my mom and my brother very well. Maybe its because I spend more time with my dad.

My mom scolds me for every little mistake I make, my fault or not, accidental or not, and seems to enjoy humiliating me and insulting me both in front and at the back of people. She is also very hard to please because she expects the best of everything from me and would not settle for second. To make things worse, she treated my brother exactly the opposite. Yes, my mom uses the stick WAY more than the carrot on me.

My brother had never gave me forgiveness even when I beg for it ever since I broke some of his CDs like 4 years ago. Luckily my dad is unlike my mom. He corrects me whenever I make a mistake, and actually rewards me everytime I got good grades.

I get along pretty well with my parents and am particularly close to my dad (my mum is so busy most of the time I don't get much chance to talk to her!)

My brother and I have fights (he's younger than me by two years) but we also have times where we get on really well. So I can't complain really. :)

They never respect who I am, but hey, I'm grown up now, and I have no problems dealing with them. So, yes and no to the question, but no serious problems. It wasn't like this two years ago when they could just violate my space any time though. I can keep them in their proper places now, despite our differences.

Me and my family get on fine with eachother apart from the few fights that end up with my little sister crying.

I get along with my family pretty well, sure we'll get angry at each other and argue, but the arguement usually ends with laughing about something that randomly happens and then we go about our lives again. D: Nothing really severe happens, I don't think.

Well, when I was growing up my family would fight a lot and my brother and I didn't get along very well either since there is a four year gap between us. The fights happened like almost everyday over the most stupid stuff, and generally end with us not talking during dinner or for the rest of the night.

But now, my family is doing really well. Fighting is only done every once in a while and I'm getting along with my brother. I'm also getting way closer with my parents as well<3

Well the relationships in my family are so to say.. weird. My mother is an alchoholic (tho she won't admit it..) and well she doesn't drink every day but quite often. So when she comes home she has this ˝I'm better than you˝ attitude and she humiliates and insults everybody (my dad, me and even neighbours!). Sometimes it gets so bad that she even pulls pranks on our neighbours (she breaks their things; like flower pots or she yealls in front of their door etc.) so they're forced to call the police in the end. Luckily this kind of action happens only once in a while so.. Because of this kind of acting I tend to get into serious fights with my mom quite often but otherwise I try to ignore her sarcastic comments. The only thing I really really hate is when she starts talking bad about my best friends: goofy_charizard_girl and cherry_blossom.. that stuff really pisses me off!

On the other side I have a great relationship with my dad. Sure we have fights now and then. Sometimes they even get serious.. but I don't know.. the fights are mostly about mom and we know that we can't do anything about it.. so we just leave it. I also hold a few grudges against my dad but always when I think about it I remind myself that I'm not a perfect person either and that I've made some serious mistakes in my life as well.. so I try not to think about it coz it makes me sad for no reason. I know my parents could get a divorce.. but trust me, they have their reasons not to.

I also have a good relationship with my step-sister. She's 14 years older than me and she's already living on her own so I sometimes envy her for that. But otherwise we get along great. She's the only person I can talk about openly about problems in my family, not that I couldn't talk about it with my friends.. it's just that there some stuff you can just tell everybody, eventhough that everybody is your friend. As far as the rest of the family is concerned.. I have fair relationships with them; it could've been better, yet it could've been worse.. so on that part I have nothing to complain about.

My brother and I are best friends. We hardly fight, and I feel that I can almost tell him everything. My mom and I are really close too, I can tell her again, almost everything and she's just awesome. My dad and I... working on it, haha. x)

I get on reasonably well with my family, thro about 5 years ago, not so much. I used to fight and argue a lot with my younger brother and I used to not be on speaking terms with my father, but these days the family can speak to each other quite well, however my brother isn't too fond of my father. It isn't the same way with extended family however.

My family and I get along rather well. I am not sure I can recall the last occasion on which we had a serious fight with one another. Usually we are all fairly reasonable and, if we disagree, are willing to discuss the issue rationally. Since we all seem to know that whatever we do, we do with one another's best interests as our intent, we can be forgiving regarding mistakes and such.

I get along rather well with my parents. (One wouldn't think so, due to all my other sets of "adoptive" parents ._.; ) My mother sometimes irks me, because she wants everything done, but no one can do it all. My dad and I have a somewhat good relationship. We don't really spend time together, but when we do, it's all right. My parents and I get along well enough where we don't fight with one another, and we're all pretty relaxed. Of course, that could be because I'm not confrontational...

My relationship with my brother is pretty bad. Though we talk to one another, most of the time it is just insults thrown at one another. Even though there is a seven year difference between us, we used to get along great. Not so much anymore. It doesn't mean that much to me anyhow, as we both have our seperate paths to follow.

I get along with my parents really well. Most of the time, that is. :x We get frustrated with each other sometimes, usually due to the large amounts of cleaning and work needs to be done around the house/farm. My parents get frustrated for no reason sometimes, too so they tend to take it out on the kids. Which usually starts arguments. But we never fight for more than a few hours. XD;

As for David (Origin) and I...we get along most of the time. He annoys me a lot and I annoy him, too. That's what siblings are for, it seems. D:

Haha, honestly? I get along horribly with everyone in my family, but I'm probably the only sensible one here in my opinion.

xD Actually, right now my Dad's yelling at my mother because he thinks she's cheap.

I get on with my family alright, except from the occasional fights me and my little sister have and some arguements me and mum have sometimes. I don't really know that many of my relatives since they all live really far away and I haven't seen many of them in years.

Yes.

My dad and I play tennis, my mom and I talk and bake cookies, my sisters and I put make-up on eachother (XD!!!!) I hate wearing eye-liner so much now! But whatever makes them happy. =D
