Eske yo di shopping an Kreyol?
yes, Haitians in the US do use that word like if it was Creole.
But Haitians in Haiti don't.
They'd say, 'achete', 'fè makèt', or 'fè kèk acha'
because in Haiti family means every body, Husband, wise, kids, sibling. Is it the same in America.
Yeah, in Haiti it does mean everybody: nephews, cousins, grandparents, etc...
I think that things have changed a bit here in America. Family may mean mom dad and kids, mom and kids, dad and kids, sometimes two moms or two dads, and don't forget the dog, the cat, and the pet snake. "Family" means something different to each individual.

When you use the word family in America, it means that the Husband, wise and kids.
It may also mean the "extended family", too.
