she has a very large, sprawling family and her siblings all pretty fun as adults. I have a high-drama sister, a clinically depressed mother, and a dad who's kind of an asshole.
Family. I adore my friends, but my kids, my DH, and my mom are my favorite people to spend time with, and the rest of my family (and DH's family as well) pretty much rocks, too.
Friends for both of us. Family seems more of a obligation these days, which has not very pleasant unfortunately. Our friends though are there for us no matter what

This goes for us as well. DH's brother is his best friend and we're close to his other brother and wife as well. My mom is one of my closest friends. Of course it's kind of a false question because who has to choose like that? I prefer to have balance in my life.
Family, no question. Friends come and go. Family is for life. It helps my family is low drama and really awesome, though. I'd rather chat on the phone with my mom or sister than nearly any of my friends.

I am about even on this. I am close to many of my cousins, so I count them as family. Many of them live in the same town, not the same one I live in, so I go there for 2 or 3 weeks a year. Many of them come here once or twice a year, and I have 13 of them, so it adds up. We also see friends often.
We both dearly love our families (& see them/ hangout 2-3 times a month), but w/out a doubt, friends. For relaxation/ vacations, there's no question. Again, LOVE our families, but yeah- friends for sure!!
Me: family. I freaking love my family. H: friends. Though he considers many of his friends to be family since his family is so small. (He just changed his mind to family. He has no idea.)
