[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s humorous how special everyone in this thread thinks their completely average actions are. Pretty much every family in the world has dinner. Wow you watch movies. Never heard of families doing that. [/quote]

But that's what make it wonderful. Families gather and eat together all around the world. The language of cinema is similarly universal. It's the mundane moments that add up to a rich, well loved life[/quote]

OP here. I love how you put this. I am surprised at how this question seems to have aroused vitriol. I guess home is an emotional topic for people. I like to hear what people shared, and the simple everyday details that stand out.[/quote]

I just wanted to thank the OP for starting this thread. I grew up with a poor single mom and the majority of my childhood (I'm an only child) we spent moving around to different places or homeless and sleeping in the car so I never knew what it was like to have family or a comfortable home.

Now that I am a mom myself to two younger elementary school children I want to provide them with a better home environment but just never knew where to start. I've always had a nagging feeling that our home was not a home but couldn't quite put it into words until reading your thread.

So, I just wanted to say thank you for starting this thread. Some of the things mentioned here may seem basic to others as pp pointed out but they are truly inspiring to me and I have read through each and every one of the responses posted here.[/quote]
