Would You Pick A Different Family If You Could?

[Dreek Lass]

Family, just like friendship, cannot be perfect all of the time. We argue with one another, fight, and just fall out, not speaking for years sometimes. They say that you cannot pick your family, and a lot of people simply would not want to pick another family. Personally, I would NEVER pick another family. I love how understanding they are and supportive even without meaning to be. I love them, despite our conflicts.

So, given the chance, would you choose a different family?

My family is my life and they are my everything. My parents, my siblings, my own family I will never choose another family to replace them here in my heart. I grew up to a close and intact family who are very supportive to each other in times of ups and downs of our life. Sometimes there are also misunderstandings among us but that is only for a short while and that is part of our life. Our family will always be our first concern before anything else.If I will be ask I will still choose my own family and nothing else and they will always be part of whole life.

Once upon a time I would have said yes, but these days, not so much. Sometimes I wish there were things they could change about themselves.. they're exactly the opposite of lil old empathetic me, which is soooo frustrating, they aren't exactly people I can talk to, but our relationship is much better these days. I'm in the process of trying to forgive them (ok my mother, not them lol) for not being more a mother as I grew up (now that I am one, it's even harder to forgive, because I know now how easy mothering should come to a mother). Not forgiving sorta hampers the whole full on happiness thing, so I'm doing my best. The choice is made and I'm strengthening what we have. Much easier than starting over with a whole new family lol.

nah, I spose my boys are ok.. I'll keep em

 

[darkcgi]

Nope they are weird like me and I understand them easily.
My son is a brainiac like me and he has exceptional manners.

If, you mean, the family I was born into, yes.
But, they are not my family.
My friends and my in-laws are my family.
Both of my parents have passed away.
so, my in-laws and friends have become my family.:clap:clap

However, I recognize that family dynamics can be complex and difficult, and that everyone's experience is unique. Family may be a source of strength, love, and support for some individuals, but it can also be a cause of misery and strife for others. Finally, each individual must consider if they would prefer a different family if given the opportunity.

When it comes to my family, we have had some issues, we have had some disagreements but that always happens in a family and it is to be expected. If I was given the chance to keep my current family or choose a new one, I would without a doubt keep the family I have now.

My family has helped me through so much over the years and has always been understanding and supportive and I wouldn't want to lose that.

I will not choose another family, even if the family is not perfect. But they will never be replaced by someone else. As the saying goes "blood is thicker than water", family will still feel closer than other people.

 

[Ravenfreak]

No I wouldn't, I think we all have family members we may not see eye to eye on but I know my family loves me. There are some family members I had to cut out of my life for my own well being however.

 

[cherry123]

Nope, I sing think so I believe I have a perfect family it should be me building more on what we have already

 

[Stardom22]

If that could be possible I would pick a different family type altogether other than the one I found myself into.

 

[Jessica]

Never.
They wouldn't understand me or my habits or issues, among other things.

 

[topiczer]

Why? What is the necessity?

 

[NuckingFuts]

No they may drive me nuts at times. But they are my family and I love them.

 

[Stardom22]

What if you find the family not caring, no one thinks about you and they never recognise you because you don't have money?

If I had the chance to be born in another family, I would grab the opportunity with both hands. My dad was a proponent of iron discipline. And he thought it was the best way to raise kids. We struggled with low self esteem as adults and that slowed our lives down in many ways.

 

[Nomad]

No, I wouldn't. While I did not have the best dad or best mom, I did not even have a best childhood and teen age years but I believe everyone has their own struggles and I am proud to be a part of the family

 

[Lolita]

No, I wouldn’t. Every family has its flaws, but mine helped shape who I am, through support, conflict, love, and lessons. Even with imperfections, I value the connection, memories, and the growth that came from being part of this particular family.
