Good day Steemians, it is another beautiful time here in this community and I'm so happy to join the contest organized by the community Titled "How I Care About My Family". Go with me as I explain how I care about my family to you all.
Family can be defined as numbers of people related by blood, adoption, or marriage, that are living together. Family is important to one's life because they are the first person who gives us unconditional love, support, and motivation. Friends can leave us in times of trouble or even envy us when we have more than them but family always stood by us in both the best and difficult times and help us get through it with their love, security, and unending support.
To care for one's family is important which gives us a sense of satisfaction and shows how responsible we are to our loved ones.
How do you care for your family?
I care for my family in so many ways, I always tell and show them how much I love and appreciate them, and I do support them in every way and with all I have. Also, I care about their plans and look further into it whether or not is good for them and give them advice, and report my finding.
I can say I am their confidant, both my mom and my siblings do carry me along with whatever they want to do and ask for my suggestion, and I would also be the first to know when my siblings achieved something or they made mistakes because they know how I love and care for them so much than to neglect or not listen to them.
Even with my two cousins staying with us, whenever they needed something in school or craving for something and couldn't get it, they would be looking for a way to call me and report because I always give them a listening ear and make them happy. So I care for my family with everything I have because being happy is my uttermost desire.
What's the size of your family?
I came from a family of 5, myself, my parent, and my two siblings which are a boy and a girl, with my father out of the picture, It remain just 4 of us with the addition of my two cousins staying with us giving us a family of 6.
How often do you care for them?
For my family, I care for them daily because I do ensure I speak to all of them every day, to know how they are fairing. Also, I do support my family anytime they needed me either financially, with comfort, suggestion, or advice.
What things do you use in caring for them and does it cost you anything?
As I said above, I care for them by showing them love, advising, and comforting them. Also, I care for them financially by sending money home every month end and sometime in the middle of the month when the need arises. I am responsible for my sister's education and a little support for my brother's education too.
I don't think it costs me anything to care for my family and support their happiness and future, I believe I am just fulfilling my responsibilities as a family, making them happy and assisting mom with the financial responsibility. None of these care cost me anything as long as they are happy because their happiness gives me satisfaction and keeps me going.
How do you feel when you have cared for your family and how do they feel too?
Honestly, I feel so happy and satisfied caring for my family, It is what I love doing and I don't see it as a curse or burden rather I do feel excited knowing I can do it.
They always appreciate everything I did, care for me, and always supported me with their love, prayer, and even with the little they have. They sometimes give me gifts to show their appreciation and love, they know how to pull me up anytime I'm feeling down with their sweet and encouraging words.
Do you sometimes fail to care for your family? What results when you neglect that responsibility?
I don't think there is a time that I fail to care for them or neglect my responsibility, though there was a time when my brother was not thinking straight and wise, he was being rude and won't listen to us, I got angry at him and I had to tell him I don't care about whatever he did with his life anymore and he should not call me. It only last till the second day, when he went to call one of my mother's friends to help him plead with my mom and me, and that was it.
Benefits of caring for our family
There are many benefits in caring for one's family and the benefit is for both parties, the person that cares for the family and the family he/she cares for.

Does anyone assist you to care for your family
Yes, though I was used to doing everything on my own until last year when there was a need to move out of where we were living and rented a new apartment. All the apartment we saw was so expensive, some are even more than twice what we usually pay in our formal apartment. When we eventually settled for one, my boyfriend assisted me and pay half of the fee.
Conclusion
The families are the most important people and the best friends one can ever have, they have seen us at our best and worst yet their love for us never faded or deteriorated. I love my family and caring for them makes me so happy and fulfilled. I never see them as a burden but as a blessing of God to me. Thank you for reading.

I can see that your family is very important to you. Little wonder to go out of your way to advise, encourage and even send cash to them.
I am glad that you made up with your brother after he sent some family members to plead. Such is life. Thanks for always caring for them. It pays to do so. Success in your entry
They are the most important people in my life because they are the ones I see during the darkest time of my life.
There is nothing else I can do with my brother than to make up to him and I'm happy he realized his mistake.

I'm glad you agree with me on that, thank you for commenting on my post.
Family is everything, they are mostly there for us when it seems things are not quite so well, outsiders tend to leave during a period like that. You have a beautiful family and I wish every one of you the best, @temitopef.
