Do periods go inside quotation marks?
The most common question people ask about quotation marks is whether periods and commas go inside or outside, and the answer depends on where your audience lives because in American English we always put periods and commas inside quotation marks, but in British English periods and commas can go inside or outside (kind ...Dec 26, 2013

“Political tags — such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth — are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire. The former are idealists acting from highest motives for the greatest good of the greatest number. The latter are surly curmudgeons, suspicious and lacking in altruism. But they are more comfortable neighbors than the other sort.”

― Robert A. Heinlein

More comfortable yes; also safer... unless you try to control them.

If it’s a whole sentence you’re quoting, the period would be inside. If it’s just a word or phrase as (in this case) “family”, the quote marks would be followed by the period, comma, etc. You’re adding the quotation marks to show that the writer doesn’t want the reader to think he sees the relative(s) being spoken of as true family. The quote marks in this case don’t mean that the writer is actually quoting anyone, but they’re meant to say, “I don’t consider this person to be worthy of being referred to as my relative.”

The good news for you is that almost no one knows this stuff.

Oh, heck no...my evil sister and brother would steal me blind if I let them in my house! ....SERIOUSLY!!!

Yeah, you can't choose your relatives.

That old posted sign you see occasionally " Nevermind the dog, beware of owner" fits me!

Make sure that you read the fine print when applying for a conceal permit. Most have you agreeing to give up your right to own guns if you violate any condition of the permit.

Wait you actually do that? It’s a real thing?

Visiting relatives in TX, we always met at a restaurant unless I was spending the night at their place.

I wish people would believe in biosecurity on my property, but no amount of telling them to cut it out has worked.

My side of the family was fine until my one sister suffered brain damage. Not sure how she got a concealed permit. She is officially out of my life forever. No way back in. She showed up without invitation (and as my closest relative, still lives over an hour away), began ringing the doorbells, pounding on the doors and windows, tried to break the doors in... It went on for a few hours. She then waited for me to open the door for the Schwans guy. He was more than willing to move aside to allow her access despite my telling her calmly to leave. I asked him to give me my food, and he said he wasn’t getting involved. I no longer get personal deliveries from him.
My sister made a lot of threats, and finally left after five hours. Anyone remember the 4-year-old I have here?
I can’t own a gun because I would have to use it on family.
