Sometimes, though, you have to do things for family, even if you'd rather not.

About This Quote

Even though the things you do for your family may not always feel right, or even make sense, at the end of the day, they're still your family and you still have to do what's right. At times, doing what's right for one person can be bad for someone else. For example, if family A is sick and you do something that helps them get better, that might make A feel good. However, if B is also sick, and you make A sicker by doing the same thing for him/her, then B gets sicker and C gets sicker too because of you.
