One can imagine a family being larger than parents and siblings. Parents friends being like “uncles” or something is like a shitty version of this, but one could imagine a community being a hundred or so people, taking care of each other’s kids, talking and updating each other daily, lending sugar etc…
Most people do not have this, even with a big modern family.
Doesn’t family fit this role for many people?
those are smaller & fractured by economic factors as well
Ok yeah that makes sense
If they’re lucky. If they haven’t been disowned for being LGBT or if they didn’t get stuck with shitty parents.
