Unless you want to limit your definition of family to JUST your household (i.e., eliminating ancestors or other relatives who may not live with you), I would use muintir for family:Mo mhuintir, mo chuid den tsaol: My family, my share/portion of lifeCuid den tsaol is a very Irish expression, and sounds more natural than just saying mo shaol (my life).Wait for more input.Redwolf
