My immediate family consists of my husband, my rabbit, and myself. We're exceptionally close. Snuggle in the same bed, spend every weekend together, and find excuses to go home for lunch so we can be together.
Now to answer what you were really asking...
We're pretty close to our siblings and our parents. We do our best to speak to one family member or another every week. I tend to communicate with my sister every few days, usually through an online chat program.
We really enjoy spending time with all of the family for holidays and other occasions for short visits. Tt and I both tend to be more anti-social toward our families when we have to live with them and see them every day. I think this is because our families consist of high-energy and strong personalities, which leaves us wanting to step away for a time.
Living far away, communicating regularly, and visiting twice a year seems to be the key to keeping everyone happy.
