Twice a year.. we all working so everyone busier. I feel they only get in touch for social things if they need lifts for parent. I dont like that as you feel its just if they need something...

I have two. NC with older one. She’s awful. I see my younger one about once a month.

Tobycarverysquad · 02/01/2026 20:55

Every six weeks or so probably although I've seen her twice in the last couple of weeks. She lives 2 hours away and we both have families so it can be hard to find a convenient time to meet up. We generally speak at least twice per week though.

Geographically very distant, so about once a year. To be honest, that probably makes things easier, we talk every 2/3 weeks in FaceTime.

ginislife · 02/01/2026 20:58

I could see her every day Monday to Thursday if I was in the office every day. It was cheaper to employ her than keep bailing her out. At least her wages are tax deductible !!! 😂 (we did also need an admin person)

Two half sisters one lives abroad, one in London. Saw London one summer 24, prior to that 10 years ago. Abroad one this autumn but before that 12years before. We do talk and what's app though.

TheOnlyAletheia · 02/01/2026 21:05

Everyday pretty much. She lives next door :)

Givemelemonsforlemonade · 02/01/2026 21:08

Between 2 and 4 times a years.
She tries to come to see me 2 times a year and I try to do the same and go stay with her. If we lived closer we would see each other more regularly. We talk everyday on the phone.

I have two sister. One lives in London near me and the other lives in America. I see the one who lives nearby two to three times a week. And the one in America about twice a year.

ohyesido · 02/01/2026 21:13

Never, I refer to her as my wicked sister and have nothing to say to her

TheNameWasOnceChosen · 02/01/2026 21:22

I have 2 sisters. One lives a few minutes away from me be goes abroad every other month or so. I see her a couple of times a week, and speak to her once a week when she's abroad.

My second sister lives abroud. I see her once a year. I speak with her about three times a week.

ponita · 02/01/2026 21:23

Maybe every other month,sometimes less often, sometimes more.

Enko · 02/01/2026 21:23

I last saw her in October at my dds.wedding. before that it was 2 years.. we do live in different countries. We chat a bit on messenger but we are not and never were close.. we are very different people.

We see SIL 4-5 times a year

ShesTheAlbatross · 02/01/2026 21:26

Once a year-ish, unless I can manage to get out of it.

Groberts · 02/01/2026 21:27

The eldest one as little as possible, narcissistic bully. The other one twice a year, we live 300 miles away.

MrsLizzieDarcy · 02/01/2026 21:27

Haven't seen or spoken to her since we buried our Dad.

Have absolutely no need for her toxicity in my life and never will again.

whirlyhead · 02/01/2026 21:28

We all live in different countries and always have done since we became adults so we see each other about once every 5 years I reckon if that. We have a very active WhatsApp group though!

Galadali · 02/01/2026 21:29

One sister. We live about 30 mins drive from each other but I've not seen her in over a year. Essential phone calls only (if parent has a fall, etc) It makes me sad that I have a sister but no actual relationship with her.

Raisondeetre · 02/01/2026 21:30

I see her once a year or less. We really aren’t close at all.

WanderlustMom · 02/01/2026 21:30

Once or twice a week, she’s only 13 though so our relationship is probably different than if we were both adults :)

ViciousCurrentBun · 02/01/2026 21:33

I also have 4 sisters, one never as she is the devil incarnate. The other 3 not as often as I would like, I am up North and they are down South. Those 3 are a lot older than me and don’t travel much now, it’s close to 300 miles to see them.

TamarindCottage · 02/01/2026 21:34

Never again if I can help it. The way she informed me our brother had died was despicable

EstoyRobandoSuCasa · 02/01/2026 21:34

Two or three times a year. We aren't that close and don't confide in each other. I find her too bossy.

ToadRage · 02/01/2026 21:36

I don't have any sisters, i would love to have sisters, i have one brother, I rarely see him. My husband drove me down to deliver his and my Mum's and Nana's Christmas presents as it was actually cheaper to make the two hour journey in our electric car that it would be to post them. If we hadn't done that I wouldn't have seen him since last Christmas. I love him to boys but we have very little in common and despite it being my husband idea to go, he and my brother are not in each other's fan club.

tobee · 02/01/2026 21:38

One sister. Probably see each other 5 times a year. She lives the opposite end of the same city. Would prefer to see each other more frequently. My favourite thing I did this Christmas was meeting up with her and going shopping and then for a drink. We message often. Very happy to have this relationship as we have elderly parents we worry about.
