[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did not have an ideal family growing up (no one does!) - plenty manipulative, passive aggressive, repressed, disorganized, jealous, overly competitive people. One of the families I admire (the family of a best friend growing up) is not perfect, but I wanted to write down a list of what I like about them so that I can strive to make my family some of those things. A bit optimistic for DCUM, maybe, but I don't have a diary, so here it goes. I'd love to hear others' "ideals" too!

- parents are fun (they used to put on music from their youth and teach the kids silly dances)
- siblings argue, but genuinely care for each other's well-being
- siblings remain close in young-adulthood
- uncluttered home
- kids encouraged to have friends over pretty much any time for sleepovers too
- parents protective borderline strict about the values that are most important
- parents always supportive of kids' ambitions[/quote]

That was my family.  Well, except the music part- my Dad likes Blue Grass - which I now like a bit as an adult (mainly because of the times I heard it as a child).

We are trying to do the same withour children- sans Blue Grass.  :)
