Should friends or family be first?

You can have a best friend that you share all your secrets with but does that take the place of a blood relative who takes care of you? To me, family is first because family will always be family. You'll stuck with those people forever and have to work through the differences but you can stop being friends with anyone at anytime. That's my take on it. What's yours?

it all depends on the situation. i am a single mom of four children and my children are always first. but i still have friends that i keep communicating all this years. one day my children will be adults and have their own family as well. i dont say that they will forget me but they will sure be busy as well. its nice to have friends to get old with too. of course i have sisters and i also communicate with them too and i know i will grow old loving them. but as of now my children are my priority

Hey, Well I haven't really had many good friends in life, they all turned out to be ones that aren't proper ones, never even give a twit about others. So I would go with family, family has done everything for you. Make sure you have a good day, God bless and Happy Lotting!!

To me family comes first. Whatever happens between you and your family, you must never forget that they are blood related to you. Sometimes you will be so closed to your friends more than to your family. But whenever both sides ask your help at the same time, put your family the first priority. That's all from me.. Happy myLotting.

A nice discussion. If only can select one, I will choose the family.Or in other words, should not take family for comparison, because nothing can destroy the characterized blood relationship between relatives, this kind of relationship is contacting you constantly, nothing will be more important than the family or relatives. Usually there is no conflict between the family and friends, handle them well, then you would have love or friends, at the same time will get the family's blessing too. Do you think so?

i think you should try to keep a balance between the two..its very important..obviously you should care about your family more but friends should also get a high priority..its quite necessary..i love hanging around with my friends very much..they are alomst like a family to me..i dont know whether i will be touch with my friends forever but still i think at the present we should all enjoy the moment..its important..and obviously family will be there for you forever..no one will bge questioning their rights..
