I got a kind of funny story with regards to these..
My girlfriend's Brother's family are nudists. Well, casually. Among their family is a teenaged boy. He got targeted by some bad people on the internet who did not know about their family being nudists, and tried to extort him after getting him to send them naked photos.
Kid just laughed it off and told them he didn't care. Told his parents. They reported it. All done.
Having once been a teenager, and seeing how damaging these campaigns have been towards young kids, respect to that whole family and that kid. ๐
Isn't your girlfriends brother's family also your girlfriends family?
No.
Her brother has kids. My girlfriend doesn't. Those kids are her extended family. Not her primary family, or "family," colloquially.
Oh gotcha. That makes sense.
