What do you think makes someone a good friend to a whole family?

Question

Having a friend, he or she needs to love the whole family. Do you think it is weird to do this? I think a friend just needs to be with his or her real friends. Why do they need to be a good friend to his or her friend's family?

Answer 1

A friend does not necessarily have to love the family of his/her friends and vice versa but they do have to show respect to one another. That is the whole dynamic of friendship; its based on mutual well-wishes and respect and kindness. So that has to reflect when they meet the family of the friends.

Your way of thinking is a bit different. At some point, it is not necessary to love them but to show respect. It will be changed if it happens that friendship blossoms into a serious relationship as a couple. Then, it is about time to love his or her family in the long run, agree?

Answer 2

A friend is a Pearson who can help his or her friends who is need no matter what the problems their friends are passing through .

A friend can help his friends family if itsi going through tough times as they say a friend in need is a friend indeed.

Comments

That's is an ideal friend. I wish I can have this friend who will not set limitations in extending his help to my family. In real life, it is hard to find this kind of person.

Answer 3

There are friends, there is family and then there are friends that become family. Friendship is actually a stronger predictor of health and happiness than relationships with family members.

Comments

I agree with you. It would be a great thing to find true happiness deep inside and be with someone like family, friends, etc.

Answer 4

Good friends  are steadfast and acknowledge you for who you are during the great and terrible times. Old buddies are likewise fair — sufficiently genuine to let you know when you're not being an old buddy yourself. Certain individuals just need to encircle themselves with individuals who will let them know what they need to hear.

Comments

At some point, we really need to be surrounded by good friends. We cannot also control the fact that the relationship turned sour with some of them. If it did not work out, it is fine to let go and find another friend whom we can be trusted.

Answer 5

The more you are close to your friend the more you will get close to her/his family. If you don't love your friend's family it means you don't love your friend.

If your friend can't respect your mother and father, do you think that he/she is a true friend?

Comments

You said thing here on point. It is a common principle that is also similar to God's Golden Rule: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." I am sure that people will get the message across the other places around the globe. 

Answer 6

In friendship, it is not necessary that the person who is your distrust will love your family, but it is important that he must respect your family, parents and siblings. 

If he is your true friend, he will definitely do it otherwise he will not.

Comments

I agree that the word 'respect' is the key to making any relationships in this world work. If they can't do this, then it is not good to continue the friendship with him or her. It is a matter of showing genuine gestures to a friend's family.

Answer 7

A good friend is someone who stay with you when you are in dark place. Many people like to hang out when things are good but good friend is always who always sacrifice his/her time for you and help you get out of your dark place.

Comments

I do think a real friend will always stay with you through thick and thin. Unfortunately, not all of them can do this. If we found that someone, then we need to keep him or her in our lives.

Answer 8

A good friend is a friend who is unconditional to me and can also extend it to my family which means he/she can still be ready to help my family also. That's a friend I cherish. 

Comments

Ideally, this kind of friend is really a true friend not only in words but also in actions. I must say that it is difficult to find someone like him or her. It is easy to find him or her in the old days than now.

Answer 9

In my own opinion, foreign people need to condition themselves to love the whole family of their husbands or wives to be. It is the cultural thing that they need to be embraced.

Answer 10

what I think that we can introduce our best friend to our family if he/she is our best close friend, but we can't force them or force our family to accept each other. But if they want to be friends it will be good, if not at least our friend should show respect to our family or he / she will not be a friend.

Answer 11

To be a good friend to the whole family whoever the person's friend is whether it's the sister or the brothers friend, the person must be influencing the family member positively which the parents or every member of the family member is happy with the positive change.

Answer 12

I have friends that I'm also closed to their whole family. If they see you that you're sincere to their family member, you're welcome to them. At some point, a mother told me to befriend her another daughter because she felt safe with me as what I've shown her younger sister.

Answer 13

I think it can be seen as weird to have a friend, especially if the friend does not fully agree with, likes, and supports everything the family does. However, in most cases, having a friend who loves the whole family would be a great thing for the person's family.
