A family is more than just the sum of its members. A family is built from the sweet moments that they share together, and in the modern era, TikTok can be one of the many platforms where people can share their sweet family moments with the world.

With time, our scientific understanding of the importance of family only deepens with more research and data. On the other hand, changing social norms are expanding the definition of what “family” means to different people, which has the potential to extend that beneficial sense of belonging and unconditional love to groups that may have felt excluded in the past.

As you browse these sweet family moments from the modern era, we hope you recognize your own family’s lovely quirks in some of them!

As someone going through chemo I can’t tell you how much this would mean to me. If you have a friend or family member going through chemo, pick out your favorite non-alcoholic, no caffeine beverage and bring it to them. I can almost guarantee their eyes will light up at the gift. Solid foods can be hard for a chemo patient, but yummy drinks can both keep us hydrated and provide some nutrients.

I mean... that's what I would do. I remember when my aunt was battling cancer and she couldn't eat and my mom and I made TexMex one night and my aunt was able to eat the queso we made. So we made her a whole huge pot of it!

My husband passed from cancer Fellow friend going thru chemo suggested 'quick oats' to settle his stomach .It worked for him , to this day I remember (he couldn't sleep) I'd wake up in middle of the night and sit with him in kitchen while he ate his bowl of creamy oats .Beautiful memory

    No matter the size, shape or color of your family, having a group of people you feel a special family bond with is truly special. It’s also key to our mental health and general wellbeing.

    According to a paper hosted by the National Library of Medicine, “The quality of family relationships, including social support (e.g., providing love, advice, and care) and strain (e.g., arguments, being critical, making too many demands), can influence well-being through psychosocial, behavioral, and physiological pathways.”

    The paper continues by detailing some of the benefits of family life: “Those receiving support from their family members may feel a greater sense of self-worth, and this enhanced self-esteem may be a psychological resource, encouraging optimism, positive affect, and better mental health (Symister & Friend, 2003).”

    It also illustrates many more benefits of close family bonds, but also points out that the close relationships we form can make us more vulnerable to stress when things go wrong as well.

    My other half works in hospice care in the UK and they have a drinks trolley - like a *drinks* trolley. You want a beer? A brandy? Go nuts. You're dying within days - have at it, if it's going to cheer you up. (Not sure how sozzled they let them get, but they certainly don't restrict things on the basis of it being "unhealthy".)

    It does depend on the person's circumstances. I've worked in various places as a carer. I've given whisky and ice cream to people who were dying but sometimes the person's swallowing function can be impaired and it's too dangerous. You don't want someone's last memories to be coughing and choking and would be a negligent or harmful act on the part of the carer.

    If he really loved her he would make sure she cleaned her teeth instead of giving her sugar before bedtime every day. Love is looking after your childs future, especially when they are too young to understand the long term bad impacts of things that feel good right now.

    My mother always showed love to my friends. She was grateful for the way they treated me and she also figured any kid can always use more love! That's the way I try to be... of course my kids don't bring friends home but IF they did I would totally be this kind of parent! (FYI my kids are home schooled and their friends are online friends. They don't bring them home because they have never actually met them in person! )

    Weird but true way to put it. My second cousins had to pay $12k in adoption fees to get their baby after struggling with infertility for 20+ years. I got pregnant at 17 and gave her up to them. Wish I could have done it without costing them but it requires social service investigations and lawyers from me, one for baby and one for them. Another couple I know paid 50k each for one child from Russia and one from Japan, both from overcrowded foster homes

    The terms “family of choice” or “found family” have been around for a while, but they’ve found new traction in recent decades with the growth of the LGBTQ+ movement. Families of choice are often a much-needed source of love and support for LGBTQ+ people when they come out to families that react with rejection. Without that support network, navigating their identity can be even more difficult.

    My brother had moved to California and Christmas was coming. It would have been the first Christmas that my Mom would have been separated from one of her kids over the holidays, and Mom was really depressed. My brother had been scammed out of money by a roommate, was miserable and didn’t have the money to come home. The rest of us siblings didn’t know what to get Mom and decided to bring my brother home for Christmas. So we flew him home with the stipulation that he put a bow on his head cause he was my Mom’s present. She cried 🥲

    If my dad had thought to do this when our cat was stuck on the roof, he wouldn't have the scars on his arm from a panicked cat digging its hind claws into the only thing it could grip while being held 10 feet in the air with one hand under its stomach. (My dad stood on the fence and tossed our cat into the bushes once it started freaking out).

The US Department of Homeland Security (of all places) has some tips for idea on how to reinforce the strength of your relationship with your family, whatever form that family takes:

    One of their key recommendations are to establish your own habits, rituals or traditions together. These can encompass some of their other recommendations as well, like staying physically active together or finding opportunities to laugh.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Other recommendations can involve personal work as well. Both you and your family should work on improving your communication and on finding new interests and activities to share with each other. Communication should also involve staying in touch with long-distance family members.

    Most of these images are examples of families functioning more or less as they should - loving and supporting one another. But as we mentioned before, family ties can also leave us vulnerable to trauma. 

    Our relationships with our parents in particular can significantly impact us for the better or worse, but even problematic relations with siblings or distant relations can cause issues.

    The overview of how family relationships impact our mental health hosted by the National Library of Medicine continues: “stress in relationships may also lead to health-compromising behaviors as coping mechanisms to deal with stress (Ng & Jeffery, 2003). The stress of relationship strain can result in physiological processes that impair immune function, affect the cardiovascular system, and increase risk for depression (Graham, Christian, & Kiecolt-Glaser, 2006; Kiecolt-Glaser & Newton, 2001), whereas positive relationships are associated with lower allostatic load (i.e., “wear and tear” on the body accumulating from stress) (Seeman, Singer, Ryff, Love, & Levy-Storms, 2002). Clearly, the quality of family relationships can have considerable consequences for well-being.”

    My dad was a plasterer. He did a showcase of his skills in my house: formal, deep cut swirl surrounded by a 10 inch cove; mock brick wall; smooth walls; random swirl ceilings in the bedrooms with "diamonds" sprayed on. I had to persuade him that was enough--he was ready to make a ceiling medallion.

    Mending those relationships can be exhausting. It’s up to each of us individually to determine whether they are worth upholding. We can do so by applying some of the tips mentioned earlier in this article, or we can remember that individual or family therapy is a totally legitimate and very helpful way to improve our relationships with family.

    With summer approaching fast, dog owners need to listen up real quick. Before you walk your dog, hold the back of your hand to the pavement. If you can't hold it there for longer than five seconds, it is TOO HOT for your dog. Keep the puppers safe :)

    I sprinkle a little water onto a towel (not much just a spritz) then put it in the freezer for awhile. When it's super hot drape the towel over the dog(s) to help cool them quickly then drop it on the floor for them to lie on. The gel filled pet cooling mats really work too. And you can chuck them in the fridge to cool them further if you need to.

    Bloody hell, I'd hate that, I never wore one at school. Always got into hell for it, but absolutely hated the feel of it around my neck! Can't wear tight necklaces or high shirt collars either. Drive me crackers. Your dad is so sweet ❤️

    When I was in college, I got a job waiting tables. The uniform included wearing a necktie of our choice. My dad has two daughters, and he was so thrilled that he could teach one of his kids how to tie a tie that he taught me three different ways to tie it. He then gave me ten of his ties plus two that belonged to my late Gramps. I’m now an insurance agent and wear dresses or slacks, but I still have all those ties in my closet and I still remember how to tie them.

    It's so weird. I am fem, I can tie a tie on myself but I can't do it on someone else. I have to do it on me and then take it off and give it too them. And I honestly don't know how or why I learned

    Sometimes it works... Sometimes not so much. My family has two cats, but one of them has decided she's my mom's Velcro buddy, and she doesn't want the other cat's company nearly as much as she wants to be in my mom's lap.

    On Youtube "Faces of the Forgotten" he's shown a few graves that are like this for young girls. Mostly in the mid-west and small towns. Not perpetual care grave yards. Some were from Victorian or turn of the century. Little playhouses over the graves, filled with the child's toys.

    Those are graves with flower borders/beds. You plant flowers on them, rather than just leaving cut, dying flowers.

    Depends on the length of the flight. If I was doing an hour or less and flying from "hot" to "hot" I'd probably just wear shorts. Long flights though, yeah I'd be wearing warmer clothes.

    My dad used to to this...my favorite story about this is the time we had brought Subway sandwiches and chips with us to eat on the plane. Dad was sitting next to a college aged girl who commented that his sandwich looked good and said she was hungry. My dad gave her half his sandwich! It was the sweetest thing! Then I looked over and saw them sharing the bag of chips...

    I'm pretty sure the photos show the brother maturing into a...mature adult, compared to the goofy (not said to be an insult, I promise) teenager in the first and second pictures. That's my guess anyway.
