My dad, probably. My mom, absolutely not. Of course, I barely talk to anyone I don’t live with, and I’m 38, so I wouldn’t actually talk to either of them.
You’re 38, and NOT living at home??? And you call yourself a millennial…
Eh, I’m married. If I wasn’t married, there’s a good chance I would still live with my parents. Thank God I’m married…
I mean…is your wife single?
…oh. right.
I’ll be honest, every time I feel like I can express my opinions about my family one of them manages to find it. This may be how I learn I have cousins on Lemmy.
So I’ll just mention my parents, who’ve become more like friends since my physical distance from them has increased over the last 20 years. And they’re all (including step-parents) weirdly (considering their siblings, nieces, and nephews) progressive.
Finding your family on accident on lemmy is WILD
No.
We’re like the random other adults you interact with sometimes, because you live near them or something. We get along when we have to talk. If it wasn’t for holidays each year we never would.
Some I would definitely talk to regularly, some I already don’t talk to even though they are family.
No. I have nothing in common with any of them. If I met one from work out such I’m sure we’d be friendly but I can’t imagine more.
Siblings yes, just about everyone else no. We have no interests, morals, or politics in common.
I barely talk to them now.
Exactly. I have cut them all off because they are emotionally unhealthy for me.
Nope.
Nah, probably not. They’re fine but I have not much in common with them. I talked to one sibling for the first time in five years last year. I send another a happy birthday text once a year. I talk to the one living parent a couple times a year. Theres no bad blood between them and I.
We are a pretty independent family anyway, always have been. I see friends call up their parents weekly or even daily and I find it so strange to have a connection to them like that. Who just…calls up a family member randomly?
My mom: for sure.
Dad and sister: hell no
Is it cheating if I’m no contact with my mom already?
Same here. And 3 of my sisters.
They are my family and I don’t talk to them, because BPD destroys relationships.
I’d talk to my brother 100%
I talked to my parents. But not my sister because there were enough people on here who spout incoherent conspiracy theories. I don’t need to hear it in person.
Did you know that there are pyramids, built by an ancient technologically advanced civilization, under the Atlantic Ocean? Because my sister does. Also the covid vaccine is bad for you, but that’s a boring one.
No
