I've seen it mostly used as a pretentious title for poly households.
I'd have to agree. I'm not sure I've seen it used in a situation where I thought the inhabitants were people I would or did respect. It just sounds kind of silly, like people putting on airs.
I feel quite different. I feel it is a little old fashioned, heart warming and smacks of charm. Not so long ago, when families were tight and supported each other, if the brother died, perhaps a solider who is a victim of war and died in service to us . . . the wife and kids were invited to live in the family house. Having a strong sense of commitment to your family, a chosen leather family or vanilla family by blood, well, that just doesn't seem pretentious to me.
Different strokes for different folks I guess. But when I meet someone that honors their family and maintains a good relationship with them, they usually turn out to be a rather decent person.
