my father is under the impression that family takes priority over everything, even the family you've never met before. for me, if i haven't met them and grown to like them, they're just like an ordinary stranger in my book.
do you believe that just because someone is blood related that they should be close to you?
what say you, OT?

Family does take priority over everything (immediate family that is). It's not even close.

your immediate (i assume blood related) family takes priority only because you've known them all your life. lets say you met them when you were 18, would they take priority then?- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.

No I just feel towards them like I do any other person - if I see them on a somewhat regular basis then I feel like they're my friends, if I don't then they're regular strangers just like anybody else. I make somewhat of an effort to talk to them and stuff because it's expected, but I don't feel any bond at all.

[/QUOTE] i don't understand that. why?[/QUOTE]Because they're your family. I may not be a good person to ask though as I'm very close to my immediate family. My dad and brother are two of my best friends.

so? if they didn't say anything, you'd treat them like normal people, yet as soon as they say they're your family, you're ready to take priority?- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.

the family that raised you and you grew up with (blood related or not) is top priority. family that you haven't met has an increased priority over that of a stranger, but is nowhere near top priority.- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.

I don't know about other people's families here. But, I can count on my family and relatives to back me up and take care if me if something bad happens to me. So, yeah.

- Dec 22, 2012 9:36 am GMTI feel that I love my mother and brother, but I couldn't care less about the rest of my family. With the exception of my father... I am confused about how I feel about him. I love my best friend, and I would chose him over my other family members in a heart beat.

ALSO... people who had good and supportive families don't seem to understand that not everyone had that. It is very possible to despise your family if they were terrible to you. It all depends on who you are. Sometimes you can still love your family even if they sucked, but sometimes people don't.

In my family it is.
Even the ones you don't know but you carry the same family name, because in the end you're working your way up to continue on carrying this family name and building on its legacy while in the meantime enjoying the respect the community give you because of your forefathers.
My family name is on hotels, enterprises & companies, etc.. but even though I know the people who own and founded those enterprises Im not in any direct line to inherit any of those and my father is not exactly a billionare. I live my life like any regular guy.
In the end, my family, even the extened part of them whom I never met, wants me to succeed in life.
