Family...You Don't Get to Choose 'Em

Unfortunately, I'm sure all of us by now know that we don't get to choose our family. The question is though, if we could, after living with and getting to, yes love them...would we go back and actually choose one that we want?

It's a hard question. Obviously their are traits of certain people in my life, that i wish i could change. The traits, not the people. Though, if i change certain traits, that would change the person. Their are times that i wish i could, but after some serious fuming with anger, i realize they are family. You love them, and that's what makes your family so strong. The fact that you love them, faults and all.



Circumstances:

I'm sure with all the horrible people out their, not all family's are as loving as mine is. No matter how infuriating or confusing or just plain annoying mine is, i can honestly say we are their for each other.

Not all family's have that. In fact, some don't have mom's. I don't know what i'd do without mine.

So, people that probably wish they had different parents:

Drug Addicts Children
Murderers children or siblings
Alcoholics Children
Rapists Children


The list could go on. The point is, their are some people who do wish to change their family if they could. 

I think for a lot of people it's that they want circumstances changed not their actual family.


What about you? do you ever wish you could change your family?
