'considering one's' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'family during a bad night' is the wordplay.
'family' becomes 'kin' (synonyms).
'during' indicates putting letters inside.
'a bad' indicates anagramming the letters.
'night' is an anagram of 'thing'.
'kin' going inside 'thing' is 'THINKING'.
