"Family" What is it?

I decided to change the title of this post. Some of you may have read it as "I Dont Even Care". If you remember reading that post i'd stop now.....you'll be reading the same thing.

"Family events"
What does that mean to you?

I guess I'm the crazy person who thinks that the main word is FAMILY. What is a family event? Birthdays, weddings, etc. If there is a birthday and there is a party...normally...."normally"... family is invited right? The way I see it is every member of the family should be invited regardless. (as long as they are in the same state) So mom gets invited somewhere......all her kids are grown and out of the house, do you assume that she will tell her kids for you OR do you call them up yourself or send them their own invite? I would think that you would invite them yourself. Dont shove it off onto someone else and assume that they get told. Now come on kids.....we all know what ASSUME really means right?

Anyways... everyone gets an invite....if they always say no, so what? At least you tried. Its them who decided not to go to the event. Them deciding not to go is much better than not inviting them in the first place.

What does the word family even mean to you?

The people I chose to have be there for me when I want them there? NO

You can choose your friends....not your family.

Your family is the people that were given to you with out a choice. They are the people who should be there and have your back even when you dont want their help. Thats who your family is. Can you strongly dislike them at times? yes. Lets face it we all have points where our family makes us want to rip your hair out. But there are other times that we see that we just may keep them around :)

I guess if you have gotten this far you know I'm not talking about nothing. I'm relating this to myself and my family. I just thought I'd give you, my readers, the chance to tell me what you think or even vice versa. I'm just letting you know what I think.

Thats all for now.

Later Days :)
