how does the action of one member affect other members of a family?

the phrase "actions speak louder than words" comes to mind, I was once told that sometimes your own family can be your worst enemy, their are some mistakes that you will make in life that will be so bad that you can't fix them, all you can do is make amends, set things right as best you can and muddle your way on through, and that's life!!

What about your family (parents, relatives, etc.)?\nFriends?

My child was born out of wedlock.  We aren't your typical family, as one might think of.  A mom,dad, siblings, etc.  We are a family, a dedicated family.  We are a strong close knit family, my child and I.  We are doing well.  I am doing well by my child and she is doing well by me.  Love overcomes all.

It's up to the Aunt what she wants to do. Child Services can be contacted and the kids could be put into foster homes. Running the risk of all being seperated. But unless she's the appointed caregiver for these kids, she's not obligated to take care of them. It's all a matter of how she feels. If it were one of my sisters, I wouldn't hesitate to help her children. But I also know that she wouldn't expect me to do it.

Compared to an extended family, A LOT.  If one of the immediate family members disagree with each other on fundamental issues, that's it, the whole structure will crumble and you have a broken family and the kids will have no relatives to run to for support. I mean, they may have relatives but they will not be close enough for them to feel comfortable just knocking on their door.  \n\nHolidays are boring.  You'll get cabin fever more often and... well, it's just lonely. Bigger families are more fun.

sometimes when u are grown u have to make decisions and then everyone has to live with the one decision that u made.  are we talking about ur parents or ur children??  because if we are talking about ur parents then they will love u unconditionally, but ur children can grow to hate u.  i guess it all depends on the choice u make and who it is going to affect.  like i said u didn't specify on which family member or what??

This is really all about genetics. Each person has differing genes and inherit family traits!

Anytime a man walks out on his family and another man wants to raise them he is one special person.\n\nYou have found happiness \ni wish you the best.

The children, even though they are cousins, will be as related as full siblings. But they will not be anymore identical than regular brothers and sisters.

My family is the perfect family.  We all have our setbacks (some still living at home, divorce, children out of wedlock, some out of work for a while, arguements with husbands/ wives, etc.) BUT- We all are close (including children's children) and we love each otherSO MUCH.  We see each other often.  We still are corrected by our parents.  We live pretty close by to each other.  We all go to church.  God is the center of our lives.  We argue for a few seconds.  We laugh.  We are extremely loyal, giving & kind.  There are lots of us.  We help each other out.  Our children are actually friends and not just cousins.  We treat each other's homes as if it is our own home.  We cook for each other.  We voice for each other.  We defend each other.  We cry to each other.  We talk on the phone.  We go out together.  We vacation together.  We do favors for each other.  We help with each other's businesses.  We borrow each other's stuff.  We are loud & noisy.      \nThis is only a small explanation of my perfect family.  I hope that I raise a family exactly like my parents did.  I always pray for this.

Because family is all about love, respect, protection, and caring for each other.  These things are important but because of the closeness of a family they often get in the way of us being individuals.  Family members do what they do because of the above things and often forget that you sometimes need to experience life for yourself, and the forget that sometimes they are wrong.  Love them anyway though because they are your family.

Family is made up of people who love you because you are related, not because of what they can get out of you, not because they agree with you on everything or anything, but just because.  That provides a backbone for socialization that is not easily replicated.
