Family or Friends? Who would you choose?

For me Family always comes before Friends. If given a choice of having a small get-together with Family at home against a wild party out with Friends, i would choose the Family event. Friends come and friends go, but family stays on forever.

well said.Family is everything.Although when it comes down to the final step,many do the opposite.I always see that the two don't clash.If they do...i try to attend both,although i give more importance to the family function or get together.

My preference is for family bcause i can live without my friends but i cant without my family.One of the reason might b i donot have any of them who are really close enough.

I agree friends are great but when it comes down to it families are eternal..

very true indeed..i feel like friends are just good for the meantime and available seasonally unlike with your family they'll always be there to support no matter what is the circumstances...

Family every time they always come first my children and partner first then other family after that, friends come after that im a good friend and I always try to be there for them but without a doubt my children come first over anyone or anything else

Not me! I'd choose my friends. I can't party with my family because there is a double standard that exists and some of them think that everyone does wrong but them. Once, I read something that said your family really can't be your friend. It basically stated that family will be more judgmental than your true friends will. In my life, I find that to be very true.

I would always choose my family because there the one who brought you into this world and you should respect him. When you have kids you would want them to do the same thing for you. You will always have friends and if they get mad at you for choosing your family then they are not real friends. So for me it will always and forever be family.

I would choose the wild party, but thats probably because I dont get on with any of my family lol!
