My son has been sent to jail and I'm planning my death to pay off a gangster.

We're not strictly a family in the sense of being blood relatives, but we do all have each other's backs. One of us can shoot webs from his hands; one is a huge, green, muscular giant with a penchant for smashing things; one can fire holograms and electromagnetic force fields out of his armour... oh, and we're all made of Lego 😁

I’m an orphan. My adoptive father is an ex con on the run from a vindictive policeman. I’m about to marry a young man I’ve only just met who my adoptive father rescued from the barricade when all his friends and fellow rebels were shot.

I'm going to go and live in the Shire, Middle Earth with Samwise Gamgee and Rose Cotton :-)

I'm on the starship Enterprise under Captain Picard. Whilst we aren't a traditional family as such, the officers I serve with are my defacto family and I am proud of our commitment to each other and to Starfleet.

I'm a Mucklowe. I've just been annoying vicar and later on will go sit in a bus shelter.

I now have 7 children, a large house in Salzburg and a dashing other half, but it does all come with quite a lot of singing.

I am living in the mid 80s, we run a cafe and times are hard, but my husband and his mates have just stolen a huge quantity of gold bars more or less by accident. I don't think it will end well.

My name is Grace, I married Tommy Shelby recently, and he’s just given me a beautiful sapphire pendant. I’m going to wear it at our charity dinner tonight.

YourHappyJadeEagle · 03/03/2025 21:55

Oh no please, not Marlon and April. I can take a lot of things but not the perpetually whingy, whiney and handwringing Marlon and his sad, unhappy daughter.

I was in a karate competition in 1984, and am now at 'war' with a middle aged man and his kids...

GoingOverToTheDarkSide · 03/03/2025 21:58

I’ve recently trained to become a therapist
I have two grown up sons, we live in an affluent suburb of north london.
once a week I cook a nice meal and no bugger ever eats it because of some stupid reason, often involving our next door neighbours, but we’re all too polite to just not answer the door
I’m also Jewish

I live on an extremely large cattle ranch in Montana and there is always some drama or fighting going on. My sister is very mean, turns out one of my brothers is adopted and the other one would be happier not be a Dutton. I have however just had to get a 7 day free trial of Paramount to watch season 5. Or maybe I'm Kevin Costners current love interest 😂

x2boys · 03/03/2025 22:00

I'm a teenmom and I'm o a mtv show about being a teenmom even though I haven been a teen for over a decade and most of the kids are now teenagers themselves.

Pussygaloregalapagos · 03/03/2025 22:01

All the ridiculously gorgeous siblings in The Vampire Diaries.

My future mother-in-law was recently killed in Paris and I’ve just started at St Andrews.

My family lost all their wealth to a fraudster accountant and had to go and live in a small town they owned. They live in the towns hotel and are friends with the mayor and his wife. Yes folks I'm part of the Rose family 😄

NuffSaidSam · 03/03/2025 22:04

I've got the choice of:

A gay couple and their adopted daughter.

An older man, his younger wife, her son and their son.

Or

A married couple and their three older teen/adult children.

It's tricky. The older guy has the nicest house, but I think the married couple would be more fun. I think I'll live in the big house and just visit with the others. They're round all the time anyway.

Im always cold, always serious, fighting 6 other families and always losing our wolves

I am an Australian dog. Two cute but backchatty kids and a husband everyone loves but underneath you realise he doesn't really pull his weight

Our family runs a popular classic & vintage car auction business in Yorkshire. All the male members of the family are obsessed with vehicles of one description or another and talk about cars endlessly; us women couldn't give a shit.

My father is a Russian oligarch and my mother is a controlling bitch in a fur coat... They fly from Russia to JFK in their private plane..... with none of the standing in line at immigration that ordinary mortals have to put up with.

A troubled teenage daughter who killed my husband/her father by mistake
