    With my sister at least once a month, with my brother I'm luck if we text once every other month!

    Well, I'm approaching my mid forties. I love my brothers dearly, but they have issues and basically have divorced themselves from my parents for different reasons (and as a result, me). I just saw them for the first time in at least 3-4 years. Before that, we kept in touch pretty regularly - a couple times a month. It's very sad not to see them anymore.

    I'm in my early 30's with four older siblings up to age 40. I talk to my brother most often who is just 16 months older than me, and that's anywhere from 1-3 times every two weeks. I also text/snap chap my two older sisters quite regularly now. Geographically speaking we're within 100 miles of each other and still see each other at least every other month. My guess is we're not "normal" in terms of how often we see & speak to each other, but I truly enjoy visiting with my family!

    I'm going to be 32 in December. I talk with my sister via facebook or text (there is a 15 month gap between us). My other two brothers I don't speak with. Ironically, I grew up with my brothers (sister was adopted from young age and I didn't meet her till I was 24).

    My elder sister calls me once a year on my bday. I don't really want to talk to her because it's basically SSDD with every call and talking about people/things I don't care about.

    My daughter is fine when I call her, talking about how she's doing, but when I say there's not much going on with me, she shuts down.

    My sister and I text every day, and e-mail, but my brother and I just randomly text. I'm 37, my sister is 35 and my brother is 31.
    My sister was living in China for a few years, and we still kept in contact every day.

    My sister lives three miles from me, I see her maybe three times a year. We don't talk on the phone at all.

    My brother lives about 30 minutes away, and I talk to him about once every two months.

    I have 1 brother. He lives about 20-30 minutes from me. We text or talk once every couple weeks probably. But I am sure the only reason is because he is super close to my son. Im not sure how often we would talk if it were not for his bond with my son. Thats sad to say.

    I love and miss my brothers a ton. The fact that they're on the other side of the atlantic has made the last 6 years rough to say the least. We're not in contact as much as I would like, but when we see each other it's like we never parted. When I move back home I hope to pick up where we left off :)

    One sibling, maybe once a year but we don't get along. My other sibling 5 to 7 times a week now that I live near him but when I lived out of state it was more like once or twice a month.

    We don't talk on the phone much - we text.

    And get together probably every other month for whatever reason. But I have 4 sisters - and my Mom had us all in 7 years. We also live within an hour or two of one another.

    My brother is five years younger than I am and lives about 900 miles away. We talk/text once or twice a month. It's crazy, but I still think of him as a kid (even though he just turned 40). But I left for college when he was 13, so we've never lived under the same roof as adults.

    my brother and I text quite a bit, but we're also both in the same profession and have stuff to talk about. probably once or twice a week we conversate on different things from training, schooling, to life in general (but mostly training). sometimes more, sometimes less.

    I'm 36, my sister is 33, and we live about 3.5 hours apart. Between email, Facebook, and texting, we communicate probably at least once a week... much more when there are family plans coming up. Talking on the phone is probably more like once a month. And we get together (either with our parents or just the two of us and our partners) around 4-5 times/year.
