In Sweden, both parents take care of the children.

My father's parents were from Sardinia and my mother's from Barcelona.

There is a Jewish tradition of family, too, but then not all Italian or Jewish families are close.

The family is inclusive of not just your genetic family, but the people that you meet along the way.

I have an enormous family because I'm from Montreal and my family's Catholic, so my dad has eight siblings and they all have kids and we all grew up in the same property on weekends and summers.

Family doesn't necessarily mean that you have to have a mother, a father, a little brother, and an older sister.

My father was adopted. He grew up in the Italian household.

I was raised by my mom. My dad was always traveling, but she allowed me and encouraged me to be close to my dad. So I grew up with three parents: my mom, my dad and my stepmom. Ninety percent of the time I was with my mom, and 10 percent was with my dad.

My family's from Eastern Europe.

I grew up as the only child, and we did not have a large family. So for me and my mother, our friends tend to become our family.
