Marriage is thickest but blood is not necessarily thicker than water. After seeing my family completely dissolve after my grandmother died, I have no more illusions that family is here to stay any more than friends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-belive-that-blood-is-thicker-than-water#post-469447 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 21:34:45 +0000 MrsTiz 469447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: adopted blood = regular blood :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-belive-that-blood-is-thicker-than-water#post-469408 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 21:11:08 +0000 Boogs 469408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think family is thicker than water, so it just depends who or what you consider family. My BFF and I have been friends for close to 20 years and I consider her family and therefore thicker than water. I also have some pretty crappy "family" members, but I don't consider them family so I guess you could call them water. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-belive-that-blood-is-thicker-than-water#post-469390 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 20:56:32 +0000 loveisstrange 469390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: I love your response. :)</p> <p>I don't really distinguish, to be honest. Family is family. My BFF might as well be family. They all mean just as much to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-belive-that-blood-is-thicker-than-water#post-469388 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 20:55:16 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 469388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think so. I'm an adoptive mom and the water is pretty thick around here! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-belive-that-blood-is-thicker-than-water#post-469356 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 20:23:47 +0000 Foodnerd81 469356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree-- marriage is thicker than blood is thicker than water. When I married dh I made him my most immediate family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-belive-that-blood-is-thicker-than-water#post-469346 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 20:12:10 +0000 MrsTiz 469346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you believe that "blood is thicker than water"? Where does marriage fit into that?</p> <p>For me marriage is thicker than blood, and blood is way thicker than water. </p>
