Facebook has never been my thing. Might try it though. I tried Skype with them but it didn't work out.

If you and your siblings all live in different cities how about going on holiday together it might turn into something you all do once a year.. Go somewhere where your forced to do activities together.. Hope this works. All the best sis.

A lot of them a still students so planning trips right now is expensive. Maybe in the future inshallah. When we do visit the main household we don't do anything together. It's wierd

I would also like to know what people do specifically with their siblings. Do you go on a hike, visit the mosque, eat dinner, braid each others hair etc?

I'm making plans with one sibling now that so when we meet up next time both of us must pick something we would like to do together. I am going to give it a go

Yes, that's the youngest one she moved in with me last year.


@ SimplyS

There are a lot of thing you can do as I've already mentioned we plan movie nights, we go outeating (or cook as a family), shopping, on weekendtrips. My youngest sister lives with me and at the moment we are planning a vacation for winter break. Her,me and the kids insha allah.

I am the only one who lives in a different country, all my siblings live together in the same city. So as much as I would have loved to spend some good quality time with them, I just can't get the time. But when I visit them once in a blue moon, I make sure I spend all my time with them, coz its not everyday that I get to see them. Well keeping in touch with them over the phone or skype is a plus for me.

Ramandan is probably the only time of the yr my siblings and I get together and enjoy family quality time, aside from that I hardly do see them.

Do you spend quality time with your siblings? I don't. I want to but I am not sure how. I do have one sibling that I speak to over the phone with regularly.

I want my siblings to be my best friends but most of us are in our 20s and I now find it hard to create that time . I usually get rejected if I say lets do this or that.

How do you spend quality time with your siblings? And what does quality time mean to you?

It's always hard to get everyone together but that's to be expected. Why not focus on one person at a time? Ask them if they want to tag along when you're doing something and just talk that's how they become your best friends.

Also make a habit of eating together

Now that my mom went on hoilday i see them every single day for cunto and washing clothes :snoop;
