One thing I hate is family that doesn't know where the line in the sand is. Or, moves the line in the sand inch by inch until the line is a mile from where is started. In my family, my sister and I don't talk much. When we visit them, we have a great time. But, when she hurts her elbow or farts, she doesn't call me or email me to tell me about it. She also doesn't call to borrow money. Neither does my parents. But, if they were ever in need, they wouldn't ask for help. They would just say they were behind on a bill, and I would offer to help them out, because I know they would do the same for me. We don't lie to one another about dumb things, we don't have too. We have no need to know what color poop we all had today. I do call my dad often, due to is health. Not being near him is really sad for me, and I know he misses us. Well, I know he misses the boys a lot. :) We don't have family meltdowns, or the like. Why is that? WHat makse us so much different? I am not sure. Maybe it is because we respect each other, and each others family. Maybe we know what hurts one of us, hurts us all... so stealing from a family member never happens. Whatever the reason, I think that I should be given $1,000,000 to study it and find out why. lol. I wish. I know it only takes a few bad apples to ruin a family, i just hope those bad apples figure out how to fix themselves or to go find another apple bin.
