How often do you see your sisters ?

[Mancity08]

Just that really

ive 4 sisters but only go to see 2 out of those probably twice a month ,

I've got 4 sisters but no brothers. I only see one every 2 or 3 years as she lives overseas. I see 2 of the others maybe 3 times a year. I see my youngest sister a bit more often as she sometimes comes to stay for a few days and earlier this year we went on holiday together just the 2 of us for 10 days for a landmark birthday she had. I get on well with all of my sisters and if be devistated when anything happens to one of us.

A minimum of three times a week and speak every day. She’s fab

Full siblings one 4 times in 12years, one 2 in 10years one used to be once or twice a year now not seen them in 4 years I’ve been pushed out of the family. We were all very very close so it’s awful it’s come to this. I get a birthday and Christmas card but no phone calls or texts anymore.

I have lots of younger half siblings never see any of them, the last time I saw one of them was the first time in 15years.

I think my sister plans to let me do almost everything! She has no plans to move back to our area so unless she changes her mind, the caring responsibilities will fall on me.

A couple of times a year. We get on well, but she lives abroad (only mainland Europe but still a flight/very long train away) and we both have jobs and young families so we can't be popping across very frequently.

I have 3 sisters - one I see at weddings and funerals, another weddings, funerals and parties and have social media interactions quite regularly. Third sister multiple phone calls a week, see in person at least once a fortnight.
We've all got the same parents, and there's 7 siblings all together. We all ask parents about one another, but not one of us is friends with all six others!

I haven’t seen mine in over 10 years. The decision to let go of contact was a relief. No more drama.
I have no idea where she lives just an email address if anything happens to our parents

Couple of times a year. Me always driving hours to them of course. We’re not close. I feel like they barely know me these days. I speak to my brother once a week and see him a few times a year but we have a much better relationship.

Older one - absolutely never and never will, Younger one - at least every couple of weeks but we keep in touch by WhatsApp daily. I think it’s sad really. I had three aunts who did everything together. Probably saw each other almost everyday. Went shopping together and definitely went away together with their husbands. but then, my dad (their brother) and his wife were never included. think my mother gave us mixed messages: always made fun of their closeness but then told us we had to look after each other.

I have two sisters. One I’m terrified of and NC. The other one lives abroad and we send each other a WhatsApp a few times a year. Don’t see we need to do more than that.

About 3/4 times a year. She lives 100’s miles away. Our relationship is up and down.

Every few months. Not close at all, only with other family, mainly to bring DC together with DGPs

Sister 1 about 4 times a week, she’s the most fun person I know and I absolutely adore her.
step sister - about 3 times a year, she lives about 300 miles away 😭
3 sils - weekly, go on holiday with them and generally all enjoy each others company.
all lovely close relationships.
1 sil - once a year, she distanced herself decades ago, long before I came on the scene, we see her for her birthday. Get on fine with her but don’t really keep in touch beyond the occasional check in messages.

I have one sister that I saw once last year (bc a family member died). We used to be quite close before she got married, but she’s one of those people that distances herself from everyone when she’s in a relationship. She only lives about a 20 minute drive away.

Mine are the same. They’re very ‘me and my little family’ and a bag of nerves since having their children - one of them had kids age 7 and 4 and says they’re ’too little’ to drive 2 hours to come and see me. Yet I drove my 6 week old DC1 to see them. They’re just quite selfish really, and see no benefit to lifting a finger to do anything other than their ‘daily routine’.

She lives up the road. Don’t see each other all the time but speak and message multiple times a day

Once a month. Sometimes more and speak to one of them at least once a week (usually). We’re not ALL close I don’t think, but I feel I personally have a good relationship with most of them. We have another sister who moved abroad and stopped talking to us last year because we don’t make enough effort apparently- she hasn’t said it directly to us, just stopped all communication. It’s hard for things to stay relevant when you live far apart I think. Although in our case she also complains about us quite a lot to other people behind our backs so it has made contact less appealing in recent years. I’m not sure she’s considered that bit though.

I have loads. I saw 3 of them this evening- 5 of them on Boxing Day. I’ve seen 3 separately over the past few weeks. There are a few I see more than others due to logistics- one lives a few miles from one of my offices and I stay with her a couple of times a month when I’m working in that location - which I have really loved.

2 of them I only ever see en masse and I’m ok with that.

I see my two sisters every week or two without fail. We’re very close! My brothers on the other hand are practically strangers. We see each other in passing a few times per year.

Also - how many sister whatsapp groups are you in? My eldest sister was really annoyed when she found out that the youngest 3 sisters had a separate WhatsApp group called ‘the best sisters’ (we are 150 years old between us!) we assumed the older ones did as they seem to all be on the same page / message re mum and dad… it was a massive kick off

About twice a year at family events.

I think naming your WhatsApp group that is really nasty and childish. I’d never do that to any my sisters, and I’ve got one I don’t speak to!

OP, I see three of my sisters around once a fortnight, tho we’re on the family WhatsApp every couple of days. Obviously saw them more over Christmas. The other sister and I never got on and I’m happier now I don’t see her. I don’t think it is entirely her fault or mine. She’s a half sister and my dad always favoured her. Right up until I cut contact when we were both in our 20s he’d tell me to just do what she wanted cos she was “so much younger”.

I see on sibling most days and we get on really well. Our spouses are close.
my other sibling id see every 1-2 weeks and if you’d asked me a few weeks ago I’d say we are close but over Christmas it dawned on me that we don’t have much in common and I find then overbearing.

Haven’t seen her for eight years or so.

1 lives a 3 minute walk away and I saw her twice last year (the less time I spend in her company the better), and the other is half a world away and we facetime once a week.
