The only array you have there is an array of characters; did you want an array of strings instead?

[ridahel]

yes, can you explain how this can be done

[sujitnag]

#include<iostream>
#include<string>           // add this
using namespace std;

void family ()
{
string father;
string mother;
//string kids;  //remove this    
int x;
int y=0;
int i=0;//change this
char f[100];

cout <<"write the name of the father ";
cin >> father;
cout <<"write the name of the mother ";
cin >>mother;
cout <<"write the numbers of the kids"; 
cin >>x;
string kids[x];    // add this
do
{
cout <<"write the kid name" ;
cin >> kids[i];  //change this
i++ ;
}
while (i<x);   //change this 
}

now enjoy your code
