    Family Vocabulary
    Your family members are also called your relatives. You have an
    immediate or nuclear family and an extended family. Your immediate
    family includes your father, mother and siblings. Your extended family
    includes all of the people in your father and mother's families.
    Your sibling is your brother or sister. If you have 1 brother and 2 sisters,
    then you have 3 siblings. Your parent is your father or mother.
    Your child is your son or daughter. Your spouse is your husband or
    wife.
    You may also have a stepfamily. Your stepfamily includes people who
    became part of your family due to changes in family life. These
    changes may include death, divorce or separation. New partnerships
    create new children. The new children and their relatives become part
    of your blended family. Some people are born into a stepfamily.
    Note that spouses and step-relatives are relatives by marriage. They
    are not blood relatives. Your father and mother are related by
    marriage. But your father and you are related by blood.
