As Robert De Niro famously said in Meet the Fockers, a family<\/a> is like a \u201ccircle of trust.\u201d It\u2019s not only the shared DNA<\/a> that links you to that group of people but it\u2019s also the stories you\u2019ve created along the way. While there might be a bit of sibling rivalry or some cheeky comments from the youngest members of the family, we still love them because they\u2019ve always been by our side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are bringing you some amusing and heart-warming stories of families bonding together even in the most unexpected ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My dad marrying his third wife:
My stepbrother and I were in the wedding party. He was about 6, I was\u00a010<\/a>. The preacher asks if anyone objects and my brother raises his hand very politely.
My dad asks why, and my stepbrother replies, \u201cBecause I want you to promise to take me fishing whenever I want first.\u201d \u00a9 vogera\/ Reddit<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My wife wanted to climb the tree in our front yard to hang Christmas lights, but my toddler cried and begged her not to so she wouldn\u2019t get hurt. It was a warm, caring moment that showed how much she loves her mom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moments later, she suggested I climb the tree instead. \u00a9 HenpeckedHal\/ Twitter<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My in-laws gave me body wash for Christmas.
I wouldn\u2019t have thought anything of it, except that my mother-in-law attached a note that said, \u201cI did NOT pick this out.\u201d
So apparently my father-in-law thinks I stink. \u00a9 XplodingUnicorn\/ Twitter<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Found my missing cardigan when my sister posted a FB pic of her wearing it. \u00a9 Molly_Kats\/ Twitter<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Watching football with your 11 y.o. daughter is fun because when you get frustrated at your team, she asks calming questions, like, \u201cDaddy, do you really think you can do better than the players?\u201d\u00a9 Dad_At_Law\/ Twitter<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My wife\u2019s uncle (who owned the farm where we were getting married) stood up at the objection part. Immediately, his son yelled at him to sit down. To his credit, he did for about 12 seconds and then stood up again. He objected because there was a big storm coming up the driveway, about to smack the ceremony. My wife made it inside before getting drenched.
Got married inside instead. \u00a9 nutrap\/ Reddit<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thoughts and prayers for my husband as our 5 y.o. looked him straight in the eye and told him, \u201cYour jokes aren\u2019t funny.\u201d \u00a9 mom_tho\/ Twitter<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One time in high school, my brother took my car and CRASHED it, got it fixed, and put it back in the driveway all within my 6-hour school day. He kept it a secret for 4 years!!! I think that\u2019s the most sibling thing ever. \u00a9 jrtyszka\/ Twitter<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a kid, if I did something stupid, my dad would tell me not to be a \u201cdaft ha\u2019penny.\u201d In other words, be smarter than half a penny, which wasn\u2019t worth very much then and is worth even less now. I find myself saying it to my own kids, and I know his dad said it to him. \u00a9 zerbey\/ Reddit<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MIL: \u201cYou have to teach them really young to pick up after themselves.\u201d
Me: *watching my husband take off his socks and leave them in the middle of the living room.* \u00a9 mom_ontherocks\/ Twitter<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before I became a parent, I never thought I would break up a fight at a living room guinea pig fashion show, yet here we are. \u00a9 XplodingUnicorn\/ Twitter<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My little sister just caught me crying and she said, \u201cDo you do this a lot at college? There are people you can talk to about that,\u201d and then kinda smiled and said, \u201cBut not me, I\u2019m tired. Goodnight.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pretty humbling when your 5 y.o. is pretending to be Santa Claus and you overhear him tell his stuffed reindeer, \u201cI might be fat, but I am not as fat as my dad.\u201d \u00a9 Cheeseboy22\/ Twitter<\/p>\n\n\n\n
