Confused with relationships.......  |
|
Hi friends,
Last week i attended my sister's marriage. Lots of relatives came to the marriage. I know most of the relatives, but i don't know some of the relatives. I know them bit i don't know how i was related to them.
One of my relative came to me and ask me whether i know them. I replied with shy that i don't know.
Then he tried to explain me how i am related to him. He told as follow,
My grand mother's sister's daughter's daughter married the person who is the brother relation ship with the person and also he told that he is married to my sister's cousin sister....
I was really confused.. Then i asked him, how i relate to him. He told that he is brother-in-law. He was related to me in two ways. My brother came and explain in the second way and he explain my brother that i was related in this way too...
Are you confused with the relationships anytime?
Do you remember all the relationships you have?
Do you have contacts with your relations?
How often you go to your relation's house?
How many of them are your close relations??
Have a great day..

neildc (3531) | 4 months ago | yes, that's right, db. "tita" is "auntie" and "tito" is "uncle". "kuya" is an elder brother while "ate" is an elder sister. that's how we do it here in the philippines, and that is Filipino language, "Tagalog" dialect.

42. jdyrj777 (2310) | 4 months ago | Not so confused as when i read your post. LOL!!! Sorry but i do understand your confusion. In my own family. I mostly just know aunts, uncles, cousins. Then i knew the grandma's sister and her family too. A whole other list of relative of second aunts, uncles, and cousins. Then i started meeting all the same in my dads family too. Then when i became adult i'd get a job and met another distant relative. Well into my 30' i was still meeting some distance relative from either my mothers or fathers family as well as my grandfathers family. I moved from there a few years ago and dont live close enough to go visit. I live over 1,000 miles away. Just my son, daughter and grandchildren are living close to me.

43. aerous (2213) | 4 months ago | I have many relative in our province but I don't remember them all. There is a society of our relatives that all from two person. They establish that to preserve our ancestor and all of those future generation will know each other. But I'm not always present in the event every year that Is why I don't know all of them.
Sometimes I counter people that happen to be my relatives. When they ask my surname and ask where I cam from. They are the to say, I am your relatives. I am happy to know that they are the one to introduce their self.
Have a nice day to, my friend

aerous (2213) | 4 months ago | Yup! My friend that society will help each other in terms of many things. But unfortunately, some members of the family will be in different location of the world. You can be register as members when you are married. And need to pay a contributions every time there is a member in that society enter into marriage. This was the rule in our family organization. That collected money will be given to husband and wife as a start of their family life.
That how our family organization hold and love their family. They don't like family member is gone. We always see to it that we are relatives and from one root...have a nice day!

|
aerous (2213) | 4 months ago | Thanks for the appreciation of our ancestors, my friend. How's your relative being manage to maintain relationship of each of the family members?
| |
|
|
dbutheking (319) | 4 months ago | Our previous generation has better contact with relatives. My parents know all the relatives. Only i don't know. We all meet in such functions. We meet them at their marriage or other functions and also they attened ours..
| |
|
|
aerous (2213) | 4 months ago | Good to know about that, my friend. We almost have the same customs. Isn't because we are Asian?
| |
|
|
|
aerous (2213) | 4 months ago | I think so,my friend. Because if you observe Asian, people it seems that similar each other. Then history were both from one root. What country do you belong my friend?
| |
|
|
|
aerous (2213) | 4 months ago | I see.
I'm from the beautiful country of the Philippines. There's a lot of Indian, here in our country. In history, my friend. Indian people also one of the old ancestor here and they are in the province of Rizal.
Indian, people here is not different as Filipino's.
Have a nice day!
| |
|
|
dbutheking (319) | 4 months ago | So, indians are the ancestors of your country. That's nice to hear about it.
I thought phillipines was one of the Chrisitan Country...
| |
|
|
aerous (2213) | 4 months ago | They are one, my friend. As far as I know, after the world war II. Some of this Indian soldier that is belong to British company Army. They prefer to stay, in that place i just said to you. Most Indian stay here in the Philippines, know how to speak our different dialect and languages here. They know to speak Tagalog, our national language.
Have a nice day!

44. Humbug25 (4101) | 4 months ago | Hi dbutheking
I don't have a very big family so it is not so confusing to me at all but when I was with my ex-husband he would take me to visit his family. He had a very big family and I would ask him how this person was related to him and he couldn't even tell me himself. We used to spend most of our holiday there visiting people.
| |
| |
|
|
dbutheking (319) | 4 months ago | Hi Humbug,
So, you spend your holidays in a very useful way by visiting people. That's great. I also know my immediate relatives and cousins very well, it is confusing during the next levels only..
Have a nice day.

45. xianxian54 (117) | 4 months ago | I don't relate too often with my relatives. Actually this happens to me as well, just one day one unknown relative jumped up, and starts to explain who he is, but you are confused, since you never know him or just saw him on some other relatives party. But i know in China, there was the traditon to gather the extended family members together for the special moments, such as Chinese new year, or Mid-autumn festival. But i think now the new generation less relate to their relatives, instead they relate to classmates or friends, because they think they have more things in common and share more common interest together.

46. Sissygrl (5760) | 4 months ago | My head is spinning lol. I have a lot of cousins i've never met. i'm sure i've met all my aunts and uncles, but some only a handful of times. My mother is the baby of 9 children on her side. and my father is the eldest on my fathers side. I am apart from my fathers side of the family. I dont know any of my cousins. my father passed away, and the short story is, we dont speak. I am a little sad my kids wont know their cousins and second cousins. but.. i guess taht's how it goes when you have a big family that's too busy all the time!
