How often do you see your sibling /s?

[BabaYagasLittleSister]

If your sibling lives nearby (in my case 10 minutes walk) how often do you see them? Are you close? Is there a normal level?

Just wondering if my situation is normal or not. Should also add we are both adults. Im 39 and they are 44.

I have a brother 15 minutes away. We see him 2-3 times a year. We're not close at all, but that's not to say we don't get on. DH's sister also lives 15 minutes away. We've seen her today for the first time in over a year. Again, not close but we do get on very well. DH does have contact with her though.

We are similar ages and also five years apart. We live a five minute drive away from each other. See each other most weekends unless we're very busy...maybe once during the week. Sometimes more, sometimes less. Talk most days. Message every day.

We live within 10 minutes of both sides. We see them quite regularly and txt a lot. Probably see each of them at least once a week. Whether at our house, their house or parents house xx

Usually at Christmas or one of the kids birthdays, we have 5 between us age 3-8, and each invites all the cousins to their party.

I love a 160 miles away from 2 of my sister's and 200 miles from the third and fourth sister lives in Chanel Isles. I see first 3 about 3 or 4 times a year and sister in CI, I'm lucky to see her once a year. We do video calls 7 or 8 times a year though and occasionally I'll meet my younger sister on holiday. We all get on really well. Our parents are both dead.

We are half an hour apart. Probably see her 1-2x a week but we text and chat every day

Haven’t seen her in 3 years but we a NC lives very close and managed to avoid her

Sibling one :
Every week, sometimes twice a week. She’s one of the reasons we live where we live.

Sibling two: I see her kids more than I see her, but she travels. I see her every 6 weeks or so. Good terms.

I really enjoy having them close.I have lived in many locations around the world, but these are the people I missed.

I'm on great terms with brother and sister. We all live within half an hour of each other. All kids now grown up and sis and I are retired (early). We have a weeks holiday together once a year, and go for a walk somewhere nice about once a month or so. Brother I see more regularly as he is still working and as I'm on his route home, he will often drop in for a coffee on his way home to let the traffic go if it's jammed.

We don't live in each other's ears and now and then can go a longish time without face to face contact, but we get on great when we are together. The three of us take a sibling tour about every two years or so and have an absolute blast. We get a three bedded room and are like kids laughing and giggling through the night.

It's different for everyone I suppose. But we are all happy to know we are around if needed, and we don't NEED to see each other all that regularly.

My sister has temporarily moved abroad but ordinarily lives an over an hour from me. I'd see her every 2-3 weeks at our parents house usually. My brother lives 5 minutes away and I probably see him once a week or so. More regularly recently because he is doing work for us and I babysit for him for an hour once a week.

One sister is a 20 minute drive away ,I see her at least once a week but talk to her everyday . Other sister is about 45 mins away , and we see each other several times a year usually if we are going somewhere . The other sister sees her / talks to her more often .

Only three or four times a year. We live some distance apart. The sibling who lives closest to me has gone NC and blocked me. With the others, it's always relaxed & easy; used to be less so with the NC one so, while I didn't see that coming, it's not a massive surprise.

My DSis lives in a different country so only once, maybe twice a year at most. DH siblings live a few mins drive away, we probably see them every 6/8 Weeks!

My brother lives 5 mins away by car, see him and his family about 4 times a year. We used to be really close but not now.

We see DH's sister about once a month and more in the summer holidays and she lives about 5 minutes away too.

Brother, about 15 miles from us. I have not seen them since Queen Jubilee celebrations. We get on fine but have nothing in common as adults.

One sibling very close to and see on average once a week. But it can be more than this some weeks it might be like 5 times even. But then might not see them for 2-3 weeks if everyone is really busy or there's a lot of illness or whatnot. Varies a lot.

Other sibling not as close, again it varies but I probably see them around 2-3 times a month on average.

I live easy walking distance from both.

There's no 'normal' level.
Do whatever suits both of you.

Neither of my siblings live that close but I see one of my siblings perhaps twice a year and the other perhaps once a fortnight.

We are intouch via WhatsApp more often than that though.

I'm NC with mine.

20 minutes from my brother. I haven't seen him for 18 months.

We get on and would be there for each other if we were in trouble but we are very different people with completely opposing views on most things. If we saw each other very often we would row. We mail each other about once a month and this suits us both very well. I wish it wasn't like this but a lifetime of experience shows it works best for us.

I have two siblings. Both live locally. I see one at least 5 days a week and we talk multiple times a day. I last saw or spoke to the other one 2 years ago.

ETA - the sibling I see is much younger than me, the sibling I don't is a similar age to me.

Sibling One: great relationship, 200 miles, maybe 6x a year
Sibling Two: okay relationship, 250 miles, maybe 2x a year
Sibling 3: NC

One is about 30 mins away by car. Very close but don’t chat on phone often. Text 1/2x weeks. See each other maybe every 4 weeks. Have a holiday together with families twice a year and always spend major holidays together. Just both busy with work and kids.

Other is more like 100 miles away. Works full time and also has kids. See them maybe 2-3 x a year but text weekly. See them for major holidays. Get on well but not as close as other sister.

Im 35 my brother is 29. We speak everyday. Lives about 15mins away. Go out to eat once a week and see eachother 2/3 times a week besides that aswell.

Brothers live away about 2 hrs travel... probably see them once every few year..we are all very busy. Usually only see them at funerals or wedding or if one of us ill. Sister lives 6 hrs away..see her twice year.

Probably 5 or 6 times a year.
