define family. ive had chumgoons that were closer then family who did shit for a cuppa more then certain and most fam would. then again ive had cats do your boy hella dirty..

when it boils down to it, only a few of blood get respect, but more of chumgoons get and give it.

i will go the extra mile for those who have proven or show they give 2 fucks, other then that anyone else, i am not wasting time. life lessons ive learned my time cannot be wasted by anyone but me from here on out.

^^^^I feel that......


I put family first to a fault......

I consider my family the people who are with me through everything. Not just people who share my last name or are 'blood related". I have people who are not blood related in any way, shape, or form that are closer to me than my own "blood family". I treat their families as my own. As far as people who are related to me and don't give a fuck, I don't give a fuck right back. I actually got into it with my Uncle the other day (dads brother) because he told me I didn't care to be around my dad's family anymore. I told him straight up....."When my father died you all never reached out to his family. So, I am giving the same effort to be around my dad's family that they are giving me and my mom, and the rest of our family which is I don't give a fuck if you don't".......man he didn't like that shit at all. But he couldn't say anything back. I protect my family with all my effort. I defend them in disagreements but most importantly I tell them exactly how I feel about a situation. I believe your family is the people you have to be MOST honest with, not be on some make them feel good type shit all the damn time. If you can't be honest with your family, then who can you be honest with? My family hated that shit about me growing up because I would be the one to say "stupid idea"...."thats dumb"....."why are we doing this?"....etc.......but today at 31 years old my Older Sister (6 years older) tells me that she loves the way I have always been because she knows I am doing what is in the best interest of my family. Especially now that my pops is gone.

I bust my ass for my family. I work a fulltime job and took fulltime college credit hours. Got my degree got a better job and I just got started.............I am re-enrolled back into school this Spring and I can't wait to see what the future holds. I always feel like as I make "it" in life......my family makes "it" too.

The other thing, and this is what people hate about me...........if you want to be called a aunt, uncle, grandfather, grandmother, etc by my children then you better fucking act like one. What does that mean? That means you have the responsibility to build a REAL relationship with my children in whatever title you have by blood. If I wasn't there to provide for and love my children would people allow them to call me father? Fuck No. So, I say if you don't have a relationship with my kids don't be mad when they don't acknowledge you.........



I love my familia.

I do anything and everything I can for my immediate family, and a few family members that are blood, and a few friends, besides that I could give a shit about most of them, as they prolly feel the same! I hate my job and hate overtime but I take it to help pay the bills, and I even think thats the reason my music career came to a screachin' hault! But in my books its always been FAMILIA PRIMERO

For my children aside from obvious financial care and time spent with them, I strive to provide a model for them to look up to. Since we on some grown man shit peep & soak, When we are on an airplane before take off and the flight attendant stated that in the case of emergency and oxygen masks drop that we are to put our masks on before we put it on our kids....I know this goes against every fiber in our body but all the study's show that if we put on children first we will black out and children wont be able to maintain masks and die as well... This told to me by a wise man is true to life as well...you can buy your kids all the toys, games and nice home in the world and still be stressed out passing along stress, insecurities and weakness's vs strengths and self confidence, To pass along those positive attributes as a parent we must take care of ourselves, you cant manipulate, shame, scold, ect ect a child to become what you want them to be...you must model it yourself. So to me the big sacrifice of parenting is to take care of yourself...mind body and spirit and be heavily involved in children's lives. I know ballers and ppl that work their asses off to provide and are shitty parents. It gets deeper but this is my sacrifice for my children...financial and time spent is a given...but I aim to change old habits passed down through my family and not try and control my kids so they end up rebelling and having low self esteem taking hurtful routs to find themselves, every child will have struggles and make mistakes but but my hope is to model health so that they love themselves enough to limit bad decision making in those wild years of adolescents and know who they are...the best gift you can give a child is reason to approve of themselves thus take care of themselves. Plus I jump em into crip early...lol j/k but yeah question is what is sacrifice to you and what do you believe in?

To me its "Immediate Family First." Every family has some shady cousins, Aunts and Uncles. It happens to be all of them in my case. I only care for my Mom, Dad, Brothers and my Sisters. The rest of the family can fuck off with their hatin asses.

me and my dad have always had an on-off relationship. while taking him to a weed store that he drove to nevada to get some weed from, i confided in him that one of my friends was recently killed in a set-up/murder. his reply was 'dont hang around fucking people like that' well, now i had to decide. let my dad down talk a dead man i had alot of respect for while he was alive? i asked him to be respectful and he responded with 'ill say whatever the fuck i want' so i told him to U-turn back to my house, drop me off without getting the weed, and go the fuck back to nevada.

and i havent talked to him since.

so its not always family over every thing because youll have a family member that no matter how much you try to help theyll always be just how they are

my definition of family differs from yours and the rest

my blood relatives have talked some serious hurtful shit about me as a child, my parents have admitted some pretty stiff shit to me thats ruined my purpose in life at times, so no, its not family over anything....in the sense that ill defend my blood hands down, naw

my family is the close friends i have made that help me whenever i need it...be it money, clothes, a ride or place to sleep all the way to sittin me down and schoolin me and setting me back on the right track...shit some of the friends that i call family have had to slap me in the past just to wake my ass up

so yea, its is family over anything....but that depends who i consider ​family

WOW! What a small fucking world. The same exact shit happened to me and my Mom and I had THE EXACT SAME CONVERSATION with my uncle (dad's brother) when my pops passed last August. I mean , you really expect me to be showing you all hella love, but when my dad, your fucking brother passed, where was you at? As far as me, I actually got into it with some of my so called Homies I considered family (known em like 10 years) over some bullshit like a month ago. I had to cut em all off because they got all drunk one night and started talking hella foul ass shit that made me realize they really was just some fake ass motherfuckers. Since my dad's passing last year I found out who I really consider family. That would be my mom and her family, who really have been there through good times and bad, and always supported me through anything I've ever done, even if the didn't agree. When my dad passed I told him I would watch over my mom, and since then I've been working hella OT at my job so I can help her out every month with her bills, food etc. My mom applied for disability due to really bad back problem's and PTSD, and is still waiting to get approved. But I always will, and DO support her and give her as much help as I possibly can, along with any of her family that needs my help. Family is all you have in this world, and it's up to you to determine who's really gonna be there for you when times are good and bad, and who's just fakin the funk with you.
