Sure a pet is part of the family since its something you either buy or adopt and you could even adopt a grown-up human as well but easiere just to marry them.
Haha you know i gotta reply on that one
I am married, my wife is my family in every legal way and just as much as if you adopted a kid, on paper it would be your family.
if i divorce her shes no longer family then shes purely an ex-wife without claims to anything of mine (maybe not before after court lol)
Friends can never be your family, you can think of them as being as close as family sure, but they can never be true family.
Call me a wet nuddle i dont mind but i go by the real world norms and laws.
And for the game i just cant think of strangers like family and yes they surely are strangers since you barely spend time with them and have only known them a few days, thats waaaaaaaay to fast even to think of them as family, hell its even to fast to consider them real friends since you dont really know them and gotta say if you think of people as family after knowing them for a few days in real life it really would supprise me if you havent been burned by that already.
What was it you said, no more questions, your honor
something like that.
