I’ve seen this topic pop up a lot in various posts dealing with guests and no two answers are the same for what family entails.
Some posts say family is *everyone* you are related to, whether blood or someone else’s marriage, whether there is a relationship with them or not. Another says only parents/siblings/grandparents. Others list every other combination from best friends as found family, not counting estranged parents, closer to distant cousins than parents/grandparents and everything in between with no agreement and left up to the reader to translate on their own. As an example: ‘you must include these specific people and cut out anyone else not on that list in order to avoid hurt feelings and be polite’. You don’t have any relationship at all with that specific list but told you gotta do it anyway because that is how someone else’s family dynamic works.
When posts come up asking how do you deal with family in this or that situation (and not necessarily always in a negative way), how do you personally interpret the word ‘family’ when the post in question and subsequent replies understands it differently?
