Is it the God who made me exist,
As a blessing to my parents~
Who have extended family~
As well as siblings~
And friends I know nearly my whole life?
Are also strangers who became closer than blood included...
They've got my back as stable as the 7th layer of defense...
No questions asked.
Or faithful pets trained from youth?
Or just people?
Or simply humankind?
That's family to me.

I understand what you're saying, bruv.. I was just playing with you. grin grin

Same here, I was a raised as the 'black sheep' in my 'family', and I have been independent since I was 16..

The widely accepted definition of 'family' is also bogus to me.. Though, I love my blood 'family' to death and would die for them, but my real 'family' would always be anyone who can shed blood and tears for me... Mutual feelings, brother.. cool

Did you say 16? Try 12yrs!!

Family to me= Nuclear, a little bit of extended, my 2 best friends.
I don't know what I'd do without them. They are my unconditional rock and support.

To me family isn't any specific person.
Some friends can be much more trusted dan brothers..
To me, family is comfort. People dat make me comfortable.

Put your families far away and your enemies closer

A family constitute d original cell of d society. It is a place where moral are taught. It is also a place where social responsibility and solidarity are learnt. Also a place where spiritual heritage of religious community and cultural legacy of a nation are also transmitted.

Family is CLASSIFIED

La Parisienne:      As we just passed that "time of year", some of us felt excited; others became sad and a little bittersweet.Some lucky people had gorgeous Christmas celebrations with their loving families/loved ones and others opted to stay on their own.

    Whether we like it or not, we often spend time during this time of year reflecting upon the relationships we have with our families/loved ones.

   So, what does the word “family” mean to you? Not just during Christmas, but overall. How do you feel about your family?

-Are they loving and supportive?
-Do they measure up to your expectations and more?
-Are you disappointed with them?
-Is there something about your family that bothers you and you wish it would change?
-Is Nairaland your only family?
-What's your remedy for a better child/parent or sibling relationship?

   


Here’s your opportunity to let it all out and share your loving stories and/or grievances with the rest of us.

Family means people who are there for me through thick and thin. People who encourage and support me. Family to me is more than just people who are related to me by blood or DNA. Anyone who has proven to me beyond a reasonable doubt that they have my back is considered my family. Shikena!
