Answer 2

A family can be large or small. It can be immediate family members or extended family members. It is people born of a blood line that extends outward through marriages. You don't have to be in the blood line to be a part of a family. Generally, a family has mother, father, children, grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins from both sides. However, you can be a family with the mother and children; the father and children; a husband and wife; foster care parents and children; or even say, five cousins living together in a big house. A family consists of adults and children who care about each other. A family shares finances, possessions, space, food, caring, friendship, love, trauma, hard times and good times. Everyone in my family has a job except the minors. The types of jobs we have vary. We all protect the babies and minor children. We are there for each other when something is right or wrong in the family. However, we all support our individual households without imposing on the others, but we always know who we can count on.

Answer 3

A family is the people with whom you love and share a home.
All families are different. My family consists of a husband and 4 children, a mom(she passed away) a step dad, a sister, and a step brother, 3 foster siblings, grandparents,an aunt, 6 cousins, 2 mother in laws, 2 father in laws, a sister in law... I hope I didn't forget anyone...

Answer 4

A family is a group of people genetically linked who we are forced to share space with until we are old enough to decide if we even LIKE these individuals. A family could look like many things and does not have to be traditional (mom, dad, kids). I have 3 brothers, 2 sisters and I have not spoken with either my parents or 2 of my brothers for over 5 years. I don't miss them at all.

Answer 5

my family is : my husband who is disabled. I work. I have 2 boys at home who consider my husband their father. They see their biological father sometimes once a year and talk to him on the phone but consider my second husband the dad that helped raise them. I have 3 step sons that have lived with us for 2 years and plan to go back to their mother next year. They are also part of our family. A family doesnt have to be blood just to love each other and want the best for each other

Answer 6
