Re: Does a couple without kids count as "a family"?
(Anonymous) 2013-07-20 12:23 am (UTC)(link)Why is it so important that people be kept out of that group?
Re: Does a couple without kids count as "a family"?
(Anonymous) 2013-07-20 12:33 am (UTC)(link)If rights are at stake, then we have a problem. If people of all groups are afforded the same rights, then there is not.
Re: Does a couple without kids count as "a family"?
(Anonymous) 2013-07-20 12:54 am (UTC)(link)Because general society made it important.
It is perfectly valid for people to not have children, and it is perfectly valid that those same people call themselves a family. If there was no importance afforded to the word, then you wouldn't be so adamant about people not using it just because you don't think they should.
Re: Does a couple without kids count as "a family"?
(Anonymous) 2013-07-20 01:00 am (UTC)(link)I'm actually not adamant that people shouldn't use it, and I regret that I've come across that way. I sincerely didn't mean to.
What I'm adamant about is that general society shouldn't make it important, and that the fact that it does is the actual problem. Whether someone defines oneself as being part of a family or not should not matter.
It could be argued that, whether or not it's correct, society places certain values on certain terms, and so we must use certain terms. But I don't buy that. You can't address the problems in society by accepting its values and its definitions. You have to question them, and then you have to deny them.

Re: Does a couple without kids count as "a family"?
(Anonymous) 2013-07-20 02:06 am (UTC)(link)That's an interesting point. My company allows for bereavement leave for the death of a grandparent, but not for the death of an aunt or uncle. The fact that there are potential differences between companies is a problem.
Really, I think that bereavement should be permitted anytime someone the employee is close to dies. If my best friend were to pass, then my grief would not be significantly different from that I experienced when my grandmother died.
Re: Does a couple without kids count as "a family"?
(Anonymous) 2013-07-20 07:51 am (UTC)(link)Where I work, it's not like they won't let you take time off for the funeral of a friend - you just don't get paid time off. That's restricted to family, which yes, OP, does include parents, siblings and even grandparents.
