[quote=Anonymous]I will say I definitely agree with everyone that no matter who you are friend, family, neighbor in no way obligates you to invite someone to every event/get together you have. I don't care if it's your childhood best friend, your mother, your sister, your 5th cousin 5 times removed. You are allowed to have and foster other relationships in your life.

I will say though I disagree with other posters putting family in quotes basically being snarky and downplaying the fact that based on your OP they are very much family to you. It seems a lot posters view family as black and white meaning you have to be literal blood or married into the family which is simply not true.

Being blood related to someone doesn't automatically make you close or important to someone. In fact I would argue actually the opposite that the people you make your chosen family could be more important because you are actually choosing to have them in your life and you aren't keeping them around as obligation because OMGblood.
