If I am "the child", would you mean me and my mom's or dad's child--as in, my (half-) brother or sister? Or do you mean me, my parent, and MY child? Are you looking for some other word besides family? Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: A word for....

Descendants would include all generations but but is seldom used to refer to just those generations nearest you, your children and grandchildren.

Nice to see you. Seems to me the question was about a word for a parent and a child together, but..... and the misuse or misuser of word could be many things. It also seems symple simply gave up.
