I love my brother and we talk on the phone at least once a month. He lives in Florida and doesnt really care for family too much. He hasnt really talked to our parents for 7 or 8 years. Actually he is kind of mean.
I find it strange you are telling us how our country interacts with our families based on your ideas of a couple movies where siblings fight in hollywood... all the while being 10,000 miles away. It seems rather........

Well if you've found this not to be the case I'm glad to be corrected. I guess I'm partly basing this off my own family, and off what I see on TV and stuff.
I live geographically far from all my siblings (500 miles from all three, in slightly different directions) but we are all emotionally close. Always have been. We are 35 (me), 33 (my brothers), and 28 (my sister). My family has no feuds or estrangement going on.

You don't need to watch TV to draw a conclusion, just based on what I've read here on the forum, but when you can post anonymously, without judgement, it may tend to be truer accounts.
Someone doesn't like a brother or sister-inlaw, adult sibling rivalry, loans never paid back...on and on. On the forum alone its seems about 50/50. And a lot of those who do, seem to be indifferent.

True...we're kinda expected to love our parents, siblings.etc more because of genetic pot luck. I think we do, as we love as kids, because they're a part of us.
I never really got along with mine that well, glad when we grew up and were able to grow apart on some level.
