Sometimes families aren't even teams, just a bunch of individuals who happen to share DNA.
I've always been a huge fan of going out and building the family you want.
I share no blood with some of my closest family. Some are friends, some are in-laws, and some are actual family.

Families are just teams. You are either part of a good team, or a bad team.
Discuss.
IMHO its not that black and white. I'd also suggest that the organization/grouping of any family isn't static. Families go through different phases in their histories. Leadership changes or isn't even identified, the group subdivides, comes together, drifts, re-groups, and then disperses for lots of reasons. A team sort of implies a common purpose. Many families don't have one.
Yes, the dude Family is the team where you can get overall support, in a good or frustrated mood, while living with a family you don't need to worry about anything because from all members one of them will fulfill your wish anyhow...They give support, strength, love, care, respect, and much more.
Honestly i really tried to encourage team behavior within my family but they just never understood it,
Its crazy how much we could've all accomplished if everyone acted like a team and not like a bunch of selfish a-holes.

Same here. The few that remain dont speak to one another. I tried years ago to "rally the team" by writing letters (this was before email) but no one cared. We cannot control what adults do and feel. As much as it sucks, sometimes finding peace with this means accepting it and living as best as one can.
Im all for the positive attitude, but not everything in life is fixable.
I think families are more of a system than a team. That's not my original thinking, but rather came from reading a paper for critique in a writing workshop. The author was a psychologist.
For better or worse, each person has their role in the system. When someone decides to no longer fulfill that role or changes their role, it creates resistance and conflict because now everyone else has to shift and change as well.

I think of family as a genetic blind date.
I am fresh out of family and I have to remember it's kind of rare. (Have a sister I am estranged from my long-time choice).
