If you think you’re enlightened, go and live with your parents for a week.

[Ponder]

Quote by Ram Dass (rip).

I think this is accurate. If you’re truly ‘free’ there should be no tension between anyone in your life, including your family members. 
 

Open to discuss. Let’s hear what y’all think.

I don't have my parents anymore, but I do have a sister that believes in the all mighty $$ over all else. If it were someone else, I could care less. But being my sis, I can't help it but to sometimes feel disappointed in what she values most.

[Natasha Tori Maru]

Try working with your Dad, younger brothers, younger sister (in a construction business, no less) and then tutoring your half brother on the weekends (who lives with Mum).

I tell you what being confronted with stiff socks and stained curtains in the half brothers room IS SOMETHING ELSE.

Family has a way of making you revert to patterns one was under the impression had dissolved... 

I do alright

I am not sure how you experience this - but my sister is a narcissist and very materialistic.

I just end up really confused around her now. I don't understand her or relate. It is almost like she hasn't got a fully formed personality yet (at 34 with kids) so has substituted integrity and substance for materialism and attainment.
