>Tell me of your family make up...immediate and extended and >if applicable in-laws
With my mom, it's just me and my older sister. Pops remarried. So, I have 2 younger sisters and one younger brother. My partner is the oldest of 7. So, his fam is now in the mix.
>do you get along?
I get along with everyone, but I keep my distance.
>do you just tolerate each other? Nah, there's love there, but I'm closer with my older sister, b/c I didn't grow up w/ my younger siblings.
>do your children play together?
I close with my niece from my older sister. I don't really know my other nieces and nephews, mainly b/c their parents have never left the KY, OH, IN area and I never really have a reason to go out there. Add to that, I'm the only one out here in SoCal.
>who lives the closest to you?
Nobody. I don't live near any fam.
>who lives the furthest from you? was it by design? Their about even distance. It wasn't really by design. It's just how things worked out.
>were you adopted?
I used to think so, b/c I felt so different from everyone else. I'm not, though.
>what is your role in the family?
I've always been a rational voice. I'm still that for those who confide in me.
>how often do you see each other?
I haven't seen my younger siblings in like 10 years. I saw my older sister before I left TX.
>for those of you with kids, which side of the family do your >children gravitate toward?
There's no competition there, really. They have different extended families. http://soundcloud.com/forestbrooks
