The only person in my family I have a problem with is my older brother. He is a total dick to me 24-7 and feels the need to bully and bother me for the simplest things. He annoys me to all ends and I'm sure if he knew more of the crap that I've only been able to tell my dad a a small group of friends, he's have more to add to the fire. Plus he annoys all of by getting angry over the simplest things. He is always making a mountain of a molehill when it comes to his problems and always really negative and creating needless drama. And then when he has a crush on someone he become awful obsessive and cries to everyone in our family about and tries to do everything to get with her and then has an enormous fit when she says no or starts dating someone else. He's a 23 year old who acts 12 and I'm gonna be beyond happy when I can finally afford to move out and be on my own. Finally can live my life in peace and do whatever the hell I want.

My dad is nice. Sometimes he can be embarrasing cause he tends to get friendly with everyone, but he's a nice guy. I'm also learning he's pretty accepting too. As someone who's a Christian he's pretty supportive of me and gay rights and he is also more democratic than republican (though he says he's independent). But he has always helped me and supported me all my life. He has had a lot of responsibilities since he has taken care of three boys on his own so he has a lot of determination and is a strong guy.

My other, younger brother, is a lot nicer to me. We do fight and insult each other, but it's usually just us joking around and play fighting. He treats me a lot nicer and also has stood up against my older brother for me. He's a cool guy, though really our music taste and taste in shows are the only thing we have in common. Other wise we're different in most ways.

As for non-immediate family, the only extended family members I have who still keep in contact are aunt and uncle Debbie and Pete. Debbie is really nice person and is always taking us shopping and helps us with things we need. She can be stern at times though, always reminding us of how we need to get a job and look for a job. But I guess she wants to discipline us. Pete isn't bad either, but he's a lot more stern than Debbie and bothers me at times. He is the type to go on long lectures about how we need to make your lives better and be more responsible and find some girl to marry, etc. He does it more than his wife and as I said, it is annoying hearing the same thing from him over and over.....

I have other cousins and aunts, but i barely talk to them enough to judge how much I like them or not.

Yeah, more or less. My parents genuinely care about me and love me and try their best to make me happy... but we're complete opposites in pretty much every way. We have opposite moral, religious, and political beliefs. They hate that I'm gay, and said that I'm "going against everything God stands for", and make fun of me for not being masculine enough, and stuff like that. At heart, they're good people, and I love them... but I have to admit I'm not entirely comfortable with living with them anymore. =/

If we're talking about extended family... they're not all bad, but enough of them are that I want nothing to do with any of them ever. I'm just done with family altogether.

I don't really know, my family greatly annoys me. I don't really enjoy their company, and when I'm home I tend to keep to myself. When they try to talk to me, it's a great bother to me and I want the conversation to be over as quickly as possible. When they ask for favors, which is pretty regularly, it feels like a huge burden to me opposed to when my friends need favors and I'm glad to be of service to them. People in my family have a hard time respecting other peoples' belongings. My dad takes my car as he pleases without asking me, and when he does ask me, he'll get very childish if I say no (which is very rare). My brother steals my things and wears my clothes. My family fights a lot, and that's also very difficult to have to deal with. My father is very much the greatest irritant in my life, and often one of the only things that I complain about. He's also verbally abusive to pretty much everyone and his general disposition is pretty negative. I view him to be incredibly rude, confrontational, irresponsible, and a man child. The only member of my family that I can say that I like is my sister. The rest of them have a lot of things about them that, if we weren't family, I wouldn't associate with them at all.

I love them. They're the ones I hold the closest to my heart. I'd even go as far to say that IF there existed multiple lives and if I were to be given a choice about choosing the same people as my family, I'd pick my mom, dad and sis in a heartbeat. They're the most amazing people ever and nothing I say will do justice to them.

I just...just love them. And am thankful for the fact that they're a part of my life.

Edit: Would like to clarify that my family isn't the "perfect" family that would probably pop up into your mind if you were to read my post. We ALL have our differences, we argue, we sometimes yell at each other and there are times when we won't talk to each other for a day or two. But that never changes the fact that we all love each other very much and things are always well after a while. :)

I love my family sooo much! My mom, my bro, my dad and my aunt and uncle on my mom's side are amazing. Extended family I don't really think of much, but I don't hate them. I really miss my grandma who died recently. But yeah.. my family and I are really close :3

I do, mostly. You would think I hate them considering how much I don't talk to them. :p

Love my mom and my stepdad (even though he's kinda sexist... *coughs*). I really should actually talk to them more.

I don't really talk with my stepbrothers much, but it's always been that way. Still get along with them when I see them, though.

I get along with my sister the best out of all my siblings. She's probably who I talk to the most out of my immediate family. I feel comfortable talking to her about almost anything. I fear our ideologies are getting a bit too different, though... there are some things she'll say about feminism or other social justice things and I'm like "nopenopenopenopenope"-ing the hell out of that conversation.
(Not that I don't agree with social justice in general, just that she might be leaning more towards the SJW crazy that I don't agree with. And I am terrible at debating. So I feel it best to stay out of it.)

My little bro's always gonna be my little bro even if he's like 5 million feet taller than me. He seems to be doing somewhat well, if not lost in life. But I can't talk, I'm like that right now and have been for like 5+ years.

At least I'm not living at home, though. I might not have any long-term goals, but I feel a ton better being independent, even if it means not having much spending money. If he's cool at home, I support it. It really isn't easy to live on your own these days.
