[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My FIL has emphasized his strong family bloodline several times in the past few years. Once he said that DH's and my son is a shining look at the future of the "Jones" bloodline. Another time, he told me that he wanted to reunite with an estranged nephew in order to give the nephew a chance to be part of "a family with a strong bloodline."

FIL's family has so much drama and craziness ranging from the humorously banal to the sordid to the illegal, including alcoholism and abuse. FIL grew up in a working class family who were often dirt poor. My husband doesn't know what the heck he means by this bloodline talk. I'm just curious what DCUM makes of this. Is the bloodline important to you or your family?

One of my grandmothers once told me that if I ever adopt a child that she had made sure, and put in her will, that an adopted child would never ever get anything that was hers. She said that because that child, or children, would not be blood.   My grandmother was a mean woman who nobody really liked. I stopped speaking to her after that comment.

OP, to some people blood is thicker than water, and it doesn’t matter the type of person it is.  As long as they are blood they are more important than everybody else. [/quote]
