Ideal FAMILIES?

Does such a thing as the IDEAL FAMILY really exist or
is it just the facade most of us have in place? Looking closer
there are cracks in the perfectionism we imagine there.
Needless to say, all families have their problems and trials.

Those who choose not to have their own families for whatever
reason will miss the opportunity to learn and grown in this lab
called LIFE that can come in no other way that being completely 
responsible for another's welfare in an interactive family structure.

VALUES are taught in families: responsibility, independence,
loyalty, love, forgiveness, patience, hard work and honesty.
One's self esteem and image is formed in a family, lessons are
learned for a lifetime. Being a parent is the ultimate challenge!

  1. Families, whatever shape they take and whatever personalities they harbor or nurture, are the heart of life.

  2. No ideal families, just families of every kind. Some work and provide the attributes you describe. Some are dysfunctional and can do damage. We're fortunate to have the healthy kind.
