everything we do depends on chemistry in some way. For example when you eat a sandwich the primary digestive in your mouth pepsin begins to break down the starches in the bread almost immediately after you take a bite, then the chemicals in your stomach, mainly hydrochloric acid further breaks down complex sugars and starches into simple sugars such as glucose and fructose. But there's chemistry in other places of the body too, before you take a bite of that sandwich or even do almost anything your nervous system relies on the chemical acetylcholine to transmit neurochemical messages between neurons in the brain and nerves, without acetylcholine you would die instantly, also Hemoglobin is the chemical that transports oxygen to every cell in your body as Oxyhemoglobin and removes carbon dioxide as deoxyhemoglobin where it returns to the lungs to be exhaled. Your muscles, actually more specifically the mitochondria in the muscle cells, oxidize glucose from the blood stream creating carbon dioxide and lactic acid along with many other compounds along with providing energy to the muscle cells allowing them to contract.
Also you were born because of the chemical nitric oxide as it is one of the main known chemicals that are vasodilators that allow more blood flow through the arteries and is the main chemical to blame when you get an erection and is also what the medicine viagra acts on. And thats only a few of the millions of different chemical reactions that go on in the body. Outside of the body the chemical Sodium hypochlorite also known as bleach is used to clean clothes and to disinfect numerous household surfaces, Axe and many other spray on deoderants rely on aromatic hydrocarbons to produce the numerous smells or odors that they have, when you bake a cake the chemical carbon dioxide is what makes the difference between a nice airy soft cake and a "harder than a rock" kind of cake, your automobile or motorcycle or any other gas engine powered machine you can think of relies of the rapid oxidation of the mixture of hydrocarbons that we call gasolene or diesel fuel to power them.
I could just about go on forever naming different ways chemistry affects your family but I dont feel like doing that so I hope you got your answer.

Well, when I was in school I used to get bad grades in it and it affected my family by my mom yelling at me for said grades. Now, it affects my family if I explode like a chemistry set in the basement. So far, the chemistry known as meth hasn't affected my family, but I have a feeling that if the neighbors don't cut it out then it just might.

Noway chemistry the subject can affect my family, but chemicals which we are using can affet us like:

1. The acids which we use for cleaning purpose may burn our eyes or skin if it is mishandled.
2. Even the food we take might have some toxic chemicals which affects our health..

I help to sell chemicals into the microelectronics industry, so I guess you could say chemistry supports my family.
