    I forgot to add Ambilocal to the list. Shit. lol


    but to answer the questions in regards to the terms I used in the poll, I will define them, including the new addition of Ambilocal:

    Patrilocal: when a couple goes to live with the husbands/males family. Usually consists of conjoined territories for example the grandparents in one house(in my case grandparents and father and myself in one house), parents and children in another, blood relatives of the grandfather and/or father (brothers and sisters of the grandfather and their children, in my case it is my grandfather's sister and her family). Use of the conjoined properties is available to the group, often used as a middle ground in between individual homes.

    Matrilocal: Same as above but the couple lives with the females family rather than the males.

    Ambilocal: When the couple can choose which family to live with instead of going to one or the other by default, usually involves migrating between sides of the family, for instance during birthing periods the family will live with the females kin, during other times they will live with the males.

    Nuclear: Mother+Father+Children, or Parent+Children

    Polygamy is having multiple spouses:

    Polygyny is one husband multiple wives

    Polyandry one wife and multiple husbands

    Panualan is multiple husbands and wives sharing One large ass gang bang.

    My upbringing was a combination of matrifocal and nuclear. I was raised by my mother, but at times we lived with different members of her family and I've always lived close to my maternal family members.

    Same. Grew up with mother, and went to father's home almost every weekend.

    Kinda mixed. As any small-town folk I'm very close with my cousins and grand parents. The whole village was more or less common ground.
    We moved away from the village where my relatives live(d) a long time ago and since then it's mostly nuclear.
    Nowadays I'm on my own though so not even nuclear, more like singular .
