A lot of the active dislike seems to be between the Wildwood Elezen and the Keepers of the Moon, at least if the Archer quest line is indicative of the overall feelings in the city. That said, a miqo'te in the Archer guild who gives you a delivery quest right at the beginning of the game refers to Gridanians as being "prickly," though that may be because she's new to the city.
On the topic of family units, there's a dev post that talks about how the big tribes break into smaller units when a tia secures hunting grounds; at that point, the tia becomes a nunh of the tribe, but only inside that area. What traditional Seekers definitely do not do is have a standard Western nuclear family -- at least not without consequences from their tribal brethren.
EDIT: Which is not to say that it's not possible, just that they'd have to be a small "subtribe" as described above, outcasts, city-state dwellers, or somehow associated with the more cosmopolitan culture of adventurers. As Aysun noted, those who live in the city-states usually deviate from their traditional cultures -- dramatically so in the case of the miqo'te (which is really the only explanation I can come up with for the mismatch between lore and NPCs
). Even then, though, traditionalist miqo'te will probably find those miqo'te dangerously misguided at best and "race traitors" at worst.
