well, in my culture, 'family' includes aunts and uncles and cousins and 2nd cousins and whoever else. i have a mom, stepdad, sister, stepbrother, grandma, stepgrandma, 6 aunts, 4 uncles, 32 cousins (i think)...the aunts, uncles, and cousins are all on my mom's side. i cant even begin to count how many 2nd cousins i have.

I agree--when I think "my family" I think of all of my family, including my mom's 10 brothers and sisters and their kids and their kids. I have 30 something cousins (including step-cousins) and most of them are married and have kids. Off the top of my head--I have 51 second cousins but I don't know all of my cousins or their kids. I also have 2 3rd cousins (my cousin's grandkids). That is just on my mom's side. On my dad's side I have an aunt (his sister in law), 5 cousins and 4 2nd cousins. I really don't know my parent's aunts and uncles.
Then there is my husband's extended family, which I now consider to be part of my family (a mother in law, 2 sister in laws and their husbands, a niece, 3 nephews and 2 great-nieces and some aunts and uncles and cousins that I don't know well or have only met once).
In my immediate family there are 6--me, my husband and our 4 children.
