sometimes a family is you, your wife, her two kids, her gay ex-husband who is also now your best friend, your quasi-adopted son and the man he is 'platonically' co-parenting a kid with, and also his sister and the very cute baby she has with her fiancé, and the fiancé's best friend who is also best friends with your wife, plus her wife and their kid(s).

oh did I forget to mention that half of these people are your co-workers too?
