Family Circle

an American magazine that covered such topics as homemaking, recipes, and health.

After nearly 90 years of dispensing recipes and home tips to America, Family Circle magazine is being shut down by Meredith Corp.

The December holiday issue will be its last — prompting an outpouring of nostalgia from past editors there.

Being a single parent

Nicole doesn't have anyone else she lives with to help her out with her kids, so she is only half-familied.

Family milkshake

When you find out your partner is cheating so you go give all his male friends a blow job, save the outcome in a bottle, and give him a big mouthful of his friends.

Harrison cheated on me so I took him out for a family milkshake!

Forced Family

Basically the opposite of found family, forced family is when people are brought together, usually by one or more people, and are forced to act as a family just to make that/those person/people happy. It can turn into found family under specific circumstances but usually everyone is pretty unhappy with being a "family". It's also usually very disfunctional.

Person 1: Have you heard about that family from Resident Evil Village?
Person 2: You mean the forced family that Mother Miranda made to make herself happy?
Person 1: Yep, that's the one.

Familial obligations

Are conditional and must (necessarily) be reciprocal.

Hym "Familial obligations are must be both conditional and reciprocal. If you're going to allow me to be unfairly maligned (say if your sister or mother turned on you after all the sex trafficking) and you're not going to make a vested effort in my advancement in the world; can I even really call you 'family?' So no. You're outside of the 'family box.' You can step back in whenever you want."

GAMECUBian Family Reunion

The term "GAMECUBian Family Reunion" essentially means orgy.

I can't wait to attend the GAMECUBian Family Reunion, and not bring protection.
