If you could be born into a different family, would you want to?

Hmm...If it ment my whole family, no.
If it ment only my dad, yes.

No, my close family and a lot of my external family are great.

The Honey BooBoos ;)

The Partridge family. Wait...no.

As much as I hate my mom and dad sometimes, I'd stick through the pain. That's what love is yo :)

No, I consider myself lucky to not have been born in a 'normal' family and much luckier to not have been born in a bad family.

My family was dirt broke, so yes, I would have liked to be born into a different family.

If it was going to be with kind parents, then, yes, I would.

Only if it was the Manson family.

I don't like my family whatsoever but I wouldn't change them. Growing up, I had a lot of freedom and my parents never interfered with my life or punished me.

No. There'd be a possibility of being raised with bad morals and turning into the corrupt trash that I despise and want to rid the world of.

I'm truly grateful for having 2 of the last few decent people left in this world for parents.

I don't like my family, but i wouldn't replace them. you don't really know what your going to get! it could be worse, so i wouldn't want to risk it.

I think about why I was born into the family I was every friggin day. Honestly, I was born way too late, but unfortunately my mom believed the Catholic BS about birth control, and had us last two after she was past her prime. (not that other religions aren't messed up, Judaism? Muslim, those are really messed up).

I figure that most of the problem stems from my fathers family and how his parents should have never gotten married and how his mother should have never had children. Something with that side isn't right. Most of them are not exactly nice and most are insecure. Must be some mental issues as well. Also, there are a few traits that my father should not have had biologically speaking.

I'm depressed about this every day and when I see that some parents are affectionate with their kids and would except their being gay as just part of who they are it makes me question all the more and leaves me sad to say the lease.

So yes, I would like to have been in a different situation although my siblings are quite good people.

Too late for me now-50 yr. old

I would do it in a heartbeat. I hate my family. The only people I like are my mom and dad and my brother. Literally everyone else I never see or don't even want to see. I am filled with sadness and envy whenever I hear of a friend having a family reunion or how all their uncle's and aunts still talk to them or how anyone other their mom and dad still comes over sometimes for dinner or calls them on holidays.

It's too bad no one will ever get this option presented to them. But even if they did, they'd easily and swiftly figure out a way to fuck it up for the rest of us.

I honestly think it's stupid to wish for a family when people can just make their own, but on preference of what I would of preferred as a kid read below.
My preferences would be:
- supply food and shelter
- not religiously biased (can be religious/atheist just not to the degree of which it conflicts with a moral thought pattern)
- not adamantly inclined to one perspective
- has good ethics, even if not agreeing to the situation (including law)
- quiet (affiliated more towards the morning, yet still not exaggeratedly loud)
- is kind to of which abhorrence (even for a moment) does not include violence between each other's
- supportive, but not attached towards each other
- and knows common knowledge (wouldn't do something stupid without reasoning behind it)

A family who would act like one is all i would've asked. Even that is too much.

only if i can choose the family,

here is my requirements,

they must be perfect in beauty
they must be rich
they must be kind
they must be from a 1st world country
their mother tongue must be English (because then i don't want to learn English and other languages)

My siblings aren't terrible, but my parents and I have absolutely nothing in common. They're generally nice people, but we don't exactly see eye-to-eye on anything.

I hate my family, so yes, but only if some aspects of my life wouldn't be affected.

One hundred times yes. They say that there is no stronger bond than blood, but I beg to differ.

I would keep my dog, otherwise my family is unsupportive and useless.

I will, but keep my mom and my dog

No, I absolutely adore my family! I'm very close to both my parents and 2 out of my 3 siblings (trying to work on the relationship with the 3rd; it's better than it used to be but still has a lot of room for improvement)

Depends if I could choose the family. Also if I could go back to mines. Otherwise no. I have no resentment towards my parents and I appreciate what my father has done for me. But I would be curious to see how I would turn out in a different, more put together household.

Alternatively I'd like to just watch a DVD about how other parallel versions of myself who were born into other families turned out. I'd just own a bunch of DVD's where each video surmises what I'm like in that universe.
