[quote=Anonymous]As someone who respects, empathizes with, and supports (often financially) “non-traditional” (sorry for the hackneyed phrase) families like perhaps a single/divorces dad or mom, it’s also ok to celebrate the demonstrable success of traditional families too.

Anthropologically, Homo Sapiens are designed to form monogamous, very-long-term relationships and family structures.  Our human offspring don’t fledge and leave the nest in four weeks. They take a couple decades to reach full mental and physical maturity, by which time they’re about to start making us into grandparents and the family structure extends more and makes that family unit even MORE likely to succeed.

That was true in cave man times, and it’s still true today.

We can both respect people who don’t live in a family like that — often through no choice of their own — and still be jazzed up and happy to see a successful, stable, Mom/Dad/Kids family. Chances are, that mom and dad are busting their humps to make it work. Despite the silly “Privilege” buzzword of today, getting all the pieces to fall into place and stay that way  It’s not easy.

If anyone is insecure about that truth, or any such truth, then it’s usually a person with their own insecurities and personal/political ax to grind. But as the saying goes, “you’re entitled to your own opinion, but you’re not entitled to your own facts.”
