Willing to evacuate

Respect maps?

Yes, not all families do.

What does that mean?

? Well they refuse to follow the laws and order that maps establish. They think they can galivant as they please.

What does “Willing to evacuate”? mean

It means if there is an evacuation, they will go there and they will keep things clean.

I'm willing to evacuate at least once per day. It doesn't always happen though.

I'm from a good family. Little drama, only one divorce, nobody's ever been in legal trouble, everyone is college educated and gainfully employed, and most importantly, we all like each other. (Though I distanced a bit from a few people during the MAGA years.)

Good families usually:

have two or more good cars
have someone who cooks
believe in history
are able to keep important materials safe
think with their hands
can shape outcomes
do not disrupt any kind of proceeding
recycle coins for higher value metals
do not countenance divorce

Are blue collar families good families? My BIL is an electrician . Not college educated, but owns his own business. Married to his HS girlfriend for 33 years. Two oldest sons are partners in his business, one is in law school and daughter is an ICU nurse.

Yes. People are focused on material things in this thread instead of values and honesty.

I know wealthy families that are not good families and families with nothing that are loving, good families that instill good values.

Parents still together / no divorces. Family is stable and everyone is mentally healthy. They are close, ambitious and enjoy each other’s company

I’m not saying a divorced family is a bad family, it’s just not the utopic poster child ideal version of GOOD family.

My parents have been together for 50 something years but my dad suddenly up and left. Am I from a bad family?

I mean yes, if someone is looking at your family from the outside they will perceive it differently than they did 10 yrs ago. Does not erase your own experience.

I don't think there is a perfect family though. A good family mostly depends on the father. If the father is good, lawful, financially responsible, puts family first and isn't a selfish narcissist then it's all good times ahead for the family. [b]You have the kids college paid, nice house in nice neighborhood instead of some roach or mouse infested place, nice schools, more opportunities, parents speak fluent English, good jobs, all those equal good family.

Wait what?

You missed the part “parents speak fluent English” . . . Wait what?

Correct. Parents who speak fluent English have more job opportunities meaning higher pay meaning affording a better neighborhood and life for their kids. I worked in hr and we couldn't move up any people who refused to speak or learn English because they wouldn't be able to communicate with their teams.

So good families are only in English speaking countries?

This forum is in an English speaking country. On a forum geared toward another country, the answer would be different.

Cat families. No family is complete without a cat that rules it.

Doesn't it all boil down to money? If you have enough money, everyone kisses your butt and makes excuses for your poor behavior and tries to orbit you. If you're a lower income schmuck, nobody extends the same latitude.

Money does not buy class. Look at the Kardashians.

Our family was checking all the boxes until our cat allergies reared their ugly heads.

Also the Hiltons. Paris had a controversial memoir out.
Also Meghan and Harry. Always willing to sell their family for a buck.
The Murtaugh a lot of murder and theft
