Hi: Yeah! we sure are dealing with a lot of mythical family advertising. Families are diverse and to say they can only be one way and only one way is false.
I think more people who have money, a nice, big house, on nice land, ought to adopt 4 or 6 children, 2 kids from a culture like: two Indian kids, two asian kids, two black kids, to white parents say. The kids could identify with their skin color and culture or nationality/heritage because of having another like them, by adopting two from the same culture, and all these kids could grow up together happily in the same household with loving, understanding finacially stable parents. Raising people this way would diminish or eliminate racism hopefully because people from different cultures could come to know eachother as brothers and sisters, no one different from the other, no racism existent. I think these kind of family and community structures would benefit us all. I had the dream to create the above mentioned family strcture when I was 15 years old. People need to learn to respect and understand, appreciate, and interact well, happily, and lovingly within diversity.
I think parents and adults in general could learn how to treat eachother well without sexism or genderism and racism, because I think if us adults learn better how to interact without sexism/genderism and racism, that we will be good examples and role models for our kids. Maybe if everyone understood eachother and worked together better, we'd have more, time, energy, and love for our kids, to spend with our kids. I love my child. I am happy to have a wonderful child. I love spending time with him. I love that he needs constant attention and care. I love giving it to him. I love to see my husband love spending time with him, seeing them spend time together. I think that people today have to make time, find time for their kids, in one good way or another. I also think parents need to find time for themselves with eachother, without their kids sometimes, to keep their relationship healthy too. I guess having a family has to do with finding good balances, keeping our love alive, and being willing to learn, grow, and positively change for the better continually. I know I want myself and would like for my family to evolve well. I want to drop old ways which don't work, keep and implement new ways which do work well for myself, family, community, and society. C'mon, I want a healthy, safe life and world, I know I need to do my part to make this happen, and everyone else needs to do their part. I'm willing to make all necessary, reasonable changes in my life for the well being of a humane society.
Thanks, Shaunasi
