Are you closer to your mom or your dad's side of the family? I am much closer to my mom's side of the family-I spent more time around them growing up and sad to say, that is just who I am more comfortable around. "Lack of home training crosses all boundaries." | |

When I was a child I was closer to my dad's side of the family. Many members of my family died since and I have lost contact to the rest apart from my mom, my sister and her family. And I also lost contact to my ex's family who I used to be close to for many years. With a very special thank you to Tina: Is hammer already absolute, how much some people verändern...ICH hope is never so I will be! And if, then I hope that I would then have wen in my environment who joins me in the A.... | |

My mother's side. My dad's side are nothing but worthless, shiftless drug addicts and alcoholics. Haven't talked to any of them in about 15 years. "It's not nice to fuck with K.B.! All you haters will see!" - Kitbradley

Well, since my dad is an only child and his parents are dead... We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

Definitely closer to my mom's side.
My dad was born in 1912, so unfortunately his parents and most of his siblings were long gone by the time I rolled around in 1972. He's got nieces and nephews, but I don't know them as I was raised in Ohio, they were raised in Tennessee, and we met only once maybe.

I can relate. My dad was born in 1915 and when I was born in 1967 his mom was still alive, but died when I still was a baby. Apart from his youngest brother who died in WW2 all his other 3 siblings were still alive when I was born but died since. From his side of the family all my cousins are way older than I am which is probably one of the reasons why we lost contact.

Closer to my moms side, we never really hung out with my dads side of the family. Rhythm floods my heart♥The melody it feeds my soul | |

Mom's side. We're a very small family. Just my aunt and 2 cousins (one which isn't speaking to me at the moment
I only know other distant relatives on father's side on facebook and only in the last year saw a picture of my dad (thanks to one of the folk on fb). I had only ever seen him as a child a few times in court due to not paying child support.
EDIT: Oh and one time he came back around knocking on the door trynna lay my mom. She was like. See ya in court. [Edited 5/4/11 17:16pm] | |

Much closer to my father's side. I get on with my mother's side, no problems. Just always been very tight knit on my father's side. MY COUSIN WORKS IN A PHARMACY AND SHE SAID THEY ENEMA'D PRANCE INTO OBLIVION WITH FENTONILS!! | |

It's actually pretty equal. We don't really have 'family drama' in my family....thankfully! | |

I don't know, I don't really see much of any of them since they all live in Sweden and I don't. The ones I keep in contact with most is my dad's cousin who has kids that are 19 and 26, and they are on facebook so it's daily news exchanging with them, and my kids get their kid's clothes!

my dad's (RIP  | |

) side is full of weird and incoherent people (truth) and/or people who live miles away...so the there's no physical contact...just the typical phone call for Xmas lolI have always been closer to my Mom's side. Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life. ~Berthold Auerbach | |

My mommy's side of the family. | |

Ditto for me, although my dad's side of the family has a reunion every summer. I don't go to them a lot, because I don't really know that side of the family all that well. My one cousin walked right by me at last year's reunion without even saying hello to me; like I was invisible or something. [Edited 5/4/11 20:37pm] RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you. | |

When I was a kid, mom's side, in my teen's, dad's side. Now I think it's a mix of both. I trust my mom's side more and they are reliable. My dad's side is more social, a fair mix of superficial and down to earth I think. Sometimes I think I act like different people with both sides. | |

I have a theory that most people tend to be closer to their mom's family for the most part. "Lack of home training crosses all boundaries." | |

same here.
slightly closer to my mom's side as the cousins on that side are closer in age to my brother and I, but get along just fine with both sides. "not a fan"  yeah...ok | |

My mother's side is all dead and I don't even talk to my dad's side.

My mum only because there are so much more of them and they are EVERYWHERE. Mum had nine siblings and all but two had kids so I have cousins up the wazoo on that side. We have family reuinions every few years. I can't escape them. | |

I don't really know my dad's side aside from a cousin or 2, and even they aren't close relatives. They never attempted to get to know me and it's a waste of time for me to even try at this point
Although I'm closer to my mom's side, I'm not really fond of them either at the moment "We may deify or demonize them but not ignore them. And we call them genius, because they are the people who change the world." |

Easily my mom's side. The only person on my dad's side of the family I keep in regular contact with is him. If you will, so will I | |
