extended family noun 1. A family group that consists of parents, children, and other close relatives, often living in close proximity. 2. A group of relatives, such as those of three generations, who live in close geographic proximity rather than under the same roof.

I wouldn't doubt that you could find a definition some place that fits your definition of extended family. But your "no, never" comment looks a little lame. <<PhD in Education... take it for what its worth.<<< <<Nothing, in this context, although it does explain the content-free debate style and the unjustified arrogance. Piled higher and Deeper, as we used to say :-) Uh...You propped up your "A" in sociology as support for your declarations. And asked for my Qualifications.>> I personally don't think it qualifies me any more to have an opinion than your experiences qualify you. I welcome your insights. So far you're not sharing them with me, and you keep confronting my personality with a chip on your shoulder. <<Unless your classes included sociology or social psychology, where you would have studied the extended family?>> Yes Chaz they did, at both the undergraduate and Masters level. They generally covered the subject and made specific application to education. At the PhD level things are more focused and in depth, so because it was education some of the course work was specifically on the social markers that lend to a persons resiliency in society or lack of it. The classes however are no longer grouped in the sociology category. You required this type of qualification from me before you would accept a common sense statement from me. I didn't consider your definition on what an extended family is as unacceptable, in fact I find it as a plausible definition and I asked Michelle in my response to her if she were refering to a new one. You labeled my statements dubious. Oh, well. Now you are sure to attack this and throw out some new demeaning labels. Am I missing something or is that all there is?
