[quote=Anonymous]My DH and I have this on both sides of the family and while I don't have as much in common with them, I really do think it is important for people to socialize/understand people deeply from all walks of life (not just hear about them on the news or read about them in the paper). It is a way to develop empathy, both in yourself and in your children. We try to model kindness to everyone, regardless of their success/failure, and use it as teachable lessons for the kids. For example, I had a relative that committed a non-violent crime and went to federal prison for a few years. We did not cut him off. We discussed why this happened and what we could better do to support him. I think that cutting a person like that off will cause more problems down the line. Everyone needs love and support. Everyone needs a hug and a good family meal. We have all done things we aren't proud of and I am glad that our families have stuck together, through thick and thin. Sometimes it is hard, but there is good in everyone if we just see past our prejudices.[/quote]
