A family is a group of people who are related to each other biologically or through adoption. Typically a nucleus family consists of a mother and a father along with their children. However this is not always possible in some situations such as in single parent households or multifamily households consisting if grandparents and or aunts and uncles or even gay couples. As long as children are raised with love and care by the people responsible for them is what would define a family.
@9JZSGZC2mos2MO
This can also include close friends who are committed to the group
@9KQRSQ92mos2MO
That the definition of Family should only matter to each family and that no two are alike. The boundries of that should be respected and religious institutions should stop trying to violate human rights and redefine constructs for those who do not follow that religion.
@9KX67BN1mo1MO
Religious institutions should not have any authority when it comes to matters of human rights. Freedom to religion is also freedom from religion.
@9JWQSZHConservative3mos3MO
family is supporting each other in my culture in the hard times
@9K3Q9Q52mos2MO
Family is not always going to agree with your decisions and you may not agree with theirs either. Family wont always be there for you. Family is yo
@9JWS8VN3mos3MO
Family is those you feel closest and safest with, regardless whether they're relatives or friends. A close and trusted group of friends is as much of a family as those who are genetically related to you.
@9K784ND2mos2MO
Family is whoever you feel most connected to or whoever has helped you grow as a person. You do have to help whoever that is. You have no obligation to support abusive parents because of blood ties or to turn your back on close friends that help you live your life. I have always held this belief.
@9K6M4542mos2MO
Whoever is related by bloodline, the fewer means the lesser person they are
@9K6HR9K2mos2MO
Family is the whole tree you know that you are in, unless if they're barely correlated with you, then they deserve nothing but death.
@9K6F97N2mos2MO
Family is blood related individuals that raised you, or related in any certain way.
@9JYLZMW2mos2MO
No i personally define family as whoever your closest to.
Yes it has evolved over time, in regards to gay marriage.
@9JWX53Y3mos3MO

@9JTQMJ73mos3MO
Family to me is very important and yes it has changed over time in history but the baseline of a family is still the same.
@9KQR724Conservative2mos2MO
I am a proud family man and do the best to support my family's growth.
@9KQNB3K2mos2MO
Dependants play a pivotal role so I agree that certain exceptions should be made to families over individuals
@9KQCS2Z2mos2MO
There is a genetic family and then the family a person may choose. Sometimes they are the same and sometimes they change over time. It’s personal. Families are messy at best and downright toxic and dysfunctional at worst. It’s all very different.
@9K72PYHNew Democratic2mos2MO
Family is both those you grow up with and those you allow in your family circle.

A family is a group composed of a father(male) and a mother (female) with their children in which this family is centered in love.
@9K4SHF3Conservative2mos2MO
For me, family is a group of people who share a deep bond, love, and support for one another. It's not just about blood relations, but also about the connections we form with people who are important to us. Personally, my definition of family has evolved over time. I used to think of family strictly in terms of biological relationships, but as I've grown and experienced different relationships, I've come to realize that family can extend beyond blood ties. It can include close friends, chosen family, and even pets who bring joy and love into our lives. Family is about the people who make us feel loved, accepted, and supported, regardless of how we are related to them.
A group of adults and children living in the same household. Sometimes i can be a close connection with a group of people.
Any links in the generational chain, be they through adoption or child birth constitute a family or any couple who make a formal commitment to join each other's families. This has not changed for me.
@9JY6TK92mos2MO
Family is the closest people to you and your support from birth.
@9JWR98B3mos3MO
Family does not limit just to blood ties. Family is where you feel at home the most.
@9JWNPWX3mos3MO
I think of family as anyone one who supports you through your decisions.
I think the term family for me has evolved overtime, i used to think the word family was people whom were blood related to me, but as i grow up and continue to grow i realise its the people around me, who support me who i call my family.
@9JVRZZ43mos3MO
i believe family is blood you dont have step dads and moms or adopted siblings its blood
@9JVMDVDConservative3mos3MO
I define family as a mother and father, or at least what a family should be. I do not oppose people who are not that family with kids, but I think that raises the best chances for a child.
@9K6MFRLConservative2mos2MO
A biological male as the father....a biological female as the mother ......biological males as sons....biological females as daughters. Always has been and always will be my definition of a family!
@9K5QBS9 2mos2MO
the definition of family, I believe is those you are willing to trust with your life. not those related in blood or skin.
@9K4Z84G2mos2MO
Traditional family values are important to what makes up a family
@9K4RK5GConservative2mos2MO
I define family as love , care , kind , respect, responsible, trustworthy, forgiving, ever lasting love .
@9K4LXDXConservative2mos2MO
I thought it means mom and dad happily together "one big happy family" but I've never had that, y family is very complicated so I think family could be anyone, even if you're not blood related.
@9K446FR2mos2MO
I define the word "family" as a people who are close, support each other, love each other no matter what, "etc". I believe that definition has stayed the same since family has always been family, regardless of any changes over time.
@9K29PN7Libertarian2mos2MO
Family is your blood, and people who are an unconditional presence in your life.
@9JZVYL6New Democratic 2mos2MO
A "family" is a unit that one sees themselves as close to, whether they be related to others in it or not. I use to think of it as exclusive to blood relatives.
@9JZMBGWConservative2mos2MO
when i was young I used to believe that "family" referred to your biological relatives. Now I know that it can refer to your community, your adoptive family, or your close friends
@9JZ4BJ32mos2MO
The concept of family can vary widely among different cultures and individuals. Traditionally, 'family' has often referred to a group of people related by blood or marriage, but this definition has evolved over time to include chosen families, such as close friends or support networks. This expanded understanding recognizes that family can be based on emotional connections and mutual support rather than solely on biological relationships.
@9JYZVPKNew Democratic2mos2MO
Family: a group of people you interact with on a regular basis that make you feel safe and accepted.
