Still on family

spacey 2007-07-08 16:51:14 ET ok, but here is the deal. Say the nuclear family is the mother, father and children living in the home. Now the kids grow up, marry, have kids or their own or not or just grow-up and move off on their own. Are they now extended family? If they move back home are they again part of a nuclear family. If the parents move into the home are they now extended family? At what point and where does one end and the other begin?

spacey 2007-07-08 17:32:35 ET Thank you. I have a complex family. Would never have thought of looking there. No, not polygamy complex, just complex.

epsilon 2007-07-08 17:35:05 ET no worries, what got your curious?

spacey 2007-07-09 09:48:01 ET just a family frustration. Made me wonder where close and extended begin and ended. Now I find it is really a complex sort of extended and at this point one can just laugh at it all.
