Well that’s a more traditional belief. It is accurate but at the same time, I think it’s subject to personal opinions. For some people they have more family in folks they have accepted in their hearts as their families than the actual family they have been born into.
That’s not to say that I consider both to be the same or equal. But it’s my belief and I won’t see another family is lesser because they aren’t of the same ancestry like mine.

Adopted family members are family too.

It’s the same way a man and woman (or other genders) who aren’t related can come together and decide to create a family via marriage while having no common ancestry (In fact we hope they don’t have a common ancestor), it’s the same way other people can come together and decide they want to be a family by whatever method they hold dear (may not be marriage). And we must respect that their family means to them what ours means to us.



I don't expect everyone to agree with me and to say the fact, we have more than one type of family structure, heck, a friend can even be a family. It all depends on personal opinions.

However, the attempt to silence a woman that has done nothing but preach the traditional or conventional view of family and the relationship between husband and wife is what I don't understand. Funny thing is the attackers seem to have something in common.

Those who come here to pamper single mothers, single wives, abused wives, and those who do giveaways for runaway mothers and others on the other side of the spectrum do not get this level of attack.

That, for me, is a reflection of a messed up society.

Exactly, there's a 1001 topics on NL/family section to read from. If they find hers offensive, why not leave quietly like I always do; rather na bashing and frustration upandan


Na they will not leave quietly, if anyone sees a thread as offensive and want to comment on it, they are free to do that. If the creator of the thread find the comment frustrating and filled with bashes, he/she can either report or comment on it, I believe the internet space is free for everyone to use or ignore as they see fit.

eyinjuege:


People can share common ancestors without marriage involved
Because a child is born of unmarried parents doesn't change it's ancestry.
Ancestry is by BLOOD.
(An example of this is Tuface and his multiple baby mamas and wife. His children from his baby mamas will trace their ancestry to him. His children from his wife will also trace their ancestry to him. The half siblings are always connected by blood regardless of the circumstances of their birth. They cannot simply be wished away because their parents aren't married)

But deep down you agree that Tuface's relationship with Annie and Annie's children is quite different from his relationship with others?

'Family' is broader than just marriage.

Even if this was a sub-board dedicated to marriage alone, are you saying everyone who has any type of opinion on something conforms to the specific thing's ideology?

The investment example isn't clicking either. Too many assumptions and unconnected 'links'.

You've been disappointing me lately, lol

Since I decided to break my silence I guess I might as well go ahead and state for the record that I am not

Fuzzywuzzy
Biglittlelois
Fountainofyouth
Helterkeit ? (hope I spelled that right)
Graxie
Ornicus
Brazenbabe
Davangel
Scarletmoon
Breaststroke
Etc.
I mean it’s almost ridiculous at this point to go on and list the accounts I’ve been accused of hiding behind to attack the OP. One person is behind most of the accusations anyway so that kind of makes it clear to a discerning eye that this person has an agenda. It’s up to OP to believe what she wants to believe. But for the rest of readers, I am not any of these accounts so don’t take their posts past, present or future as cococandy’s post.

I’m not new to this forum and I didn’t start agreeing and disagreeing with OP yesterday. I have always been able to state my opinion with my account (if I deem my response necessary at that time).

To the accusers, Please cease and desist. Thank you.

Why will they leave the thread? They reserve the right to comment on ANY thread, as long as they abide by the rules. Which of Buka’s supporters practice what they preach? People that are always on every thread, talking like parrots.

Be civil in arguments, that is all!!

You are being more obvious and direct in your views recently. Less of a wife material.

No NL horseband for you. None of their brothers will marry you too. grin grin grin

Acidosis, so people who arent married shouldn't be here? So family section is solely for married people? Says who? You?

Some people's line of thinking sha cheesy

Those who aren't married should at least be a product of marriage. If you're not a product of marriage, you're not married, and not aiming at getting married someday, you honestly shouldn't be on family section.

Funny thing is, they think they can control the mind and phone of commentors, the energy they use up to preach it must be really exhausting.

Exactly!! You don’t talk much, so it was kinda tricky fitting you in a subset.

Fine, she shared her opinion which some people benefited from, and some don't (like you)

As I stated earlier, she is entailed to her opinion, she is not forcing it on anyone. You don't like the way she write, let her be for people who likes the way she write. Why do you lot want her to conform to your ways of seeing or doing things

I don't see anyone forcing anybody to conform a certain way,

People will continue to comment wherever they see fit, positively or negatively, it is a free internet space and individual phones.
