I dont really consider it a family unless marriage has already taken place. i dont think BF/GF living together would be considered a family. maybe its just me :dunno:
i generally consider kids to be a part of a family. but if kids arent involved so be it

 

were getting to that part

i said started

 

yep couple living together is couple living together.

 

so two lesbians cant be a family huh? you're a bigot!

Two or more people who share goals and values, have long-term commitments to one another, and reside usually in the same dwelling place

 

how does that make me a bigot? stop putting word in my mouth.

they can adopt of get a sperm donor and they can be legally married in some states.


I like the way you left out the first definition which didn't fit your argument.

so if you feel that you are a family Blake, why don't you try to file your taxes as a family.

 

dont be so uppity, it was a shot.

 

Saying you can just leave whenever you're tired of your partner's shit, just because they're not "blood" doesn't exactly speak of a tight commitment to that partner. I wouldn't leave my husband because I was irritated with him or generally tired of being around him. I made a real commitment and it would take a lot to break that.

Oh, and we haven't bought a house, but we've started our family, by getting married. No, we don't have any children and probably won't for a while, but in the eyes of the law, we are a family.

First of all I've worked since I was 15. Had to pay for my cars, insurance, clothes, etc by myself since then. Went to college as I could afford it, still haven't finished. But atleast I don't have school loans. I've never been one to waste money. Usually bring my lunch to work everyday, even my own sodas. Never bought a new car. All but 1 car I paid cash for.


Basically I don't buy shit I don't need like designer clothes, and a new CD every couple days. I like to cook at home rather than pay $25+ for a steak somewhere. I bought my first house at 22, and my girlfriend lives with me so that helps. You just have to establish a goal and work for it. Write down everytime you spend money for a month. Then look back and say did I really need that? Add all the no's together and you'll be surprised how much $$$ you can waste in a month.

Cliff Notes: Don't buy shit you don't need, instead of charging or paying intrest save up and pay cash

 

im 18 live at home and commute to college and work everyday...

my parents have NEVER given me anything except clothes and food on the table.....

i pay insurance, gas, mods, car problems, food when not at home, cell phone, gifts for people....you name it OTHER then clothes and food when at home....
