Hi,
The word "family" seems to be very tricky to me.
As a kid, can he or she say "my family has my mom, dad and I"?
As a man, when he says "my family", does that include himself?
When someone asks me, "how many people are in your family", I just get confused, should I include my parents or should I only say my wife and kids" or should I only say my kids?
The phrase "my family" is even more confusing. When someone says "my family", who exactly does he really refer to?
Thank you!
