Okay, let's start with family.

If something runs in the family, it means that that talent, ability, quality or thing is passed through the family from generation to generation.

For example, their two daughters are gymnasts like their mother, so it clearly runs in the family.

Now, for mother, If something is the mother of all, then it is the largest, most extreme or ultimate example off and usually is a plural Now, for example, yesterday I had the mother of all pizzas.

It was huge and it was delicious.

Oh, if you ever need help, just call me and I'll come.

This is the mother of all promises now for father.

A father figure is someone that you can turn to for advice and support, and it doesn't have to be your father or even a relative.

It can just be a friend.

Katherine has been a mother figure to me.
