There has been a lot of talk about families on this site lately. Now what am I trying to say. my own family was pretty dysfuntional. I dont want to go into all the deatils but as we all grew older and wiser, or mellow, we forgave.

At times in my life I needed my family. Maybe that was sad that was all I thought I had, i didnt think I had close enough friends to turn to. Maybe I didnt want to let other people know what I was going thru. Washing dirty laundry in public comes to mind. I didnt tell all to my family eitherbut I think they guessed.

My husband family in my eyes were even worse than mine. Needless to say he thought the opposite. He is one of 5 brothers. All the brothers appear to be differnt. So same up bringing, different results. I dont know why.

I dont think either of us have particularly good role model families to know how to bring up our own family

I really dont know what sort of messages we teaching our own children, but I think they will react differently as they are very different personalities.

Not sure what I am trying to say here.

This is a poem my 15 y/o son wrote for school

Needles to say I am quite proud of it

On a lighter note. I was talking to my son the other day and I was talking about someone talking very quickly. I told him she was "talking 20 knots to the minute " :uhm: :oops: I meant 19 to the dozen. :big_grin: Oh well

Have a good w/e everyone
