„nuclear family“ - the OG social construct. Quite literally I guess.

part of my transition to adulthood was finding out how many of my childhood aunts/uncles

1) were actually cousins
or
2) were friends of an older family member and weren't even really related to me but had been honoraried into aunthood (or uncledom)

Lots of ways to family
