Is there a perfect family?

Hi eileen.Ü It's sad to hear that your family is not living in one roof. I also think that chatting through internet is not enough also. Many families have that kind of problem like the one you have. Have you tried buying a webcam so that you can see some of your siblings abroad? I believe that there is nothing perfect in this world even families. My family is not perfect either but we're happy. Don't you think having a complete and happy family is much more important than wishing for a perfect one? Ü

The word "perfect" doesn't exist in my vocabulary because I don't believe in perfectionism. The reason is that if you expect something perfect and it doesn't turn out that way, you'd be very disappointed and depressed. The term "perfect family" to me is rather subjective. What constitutes a perfect family? To some, a perfect family consists of 3 kids and parents. To others, only one kid and a dog (yeah, your pet is part of your family too). In your situation, I think you're feeling sad because you were expecting your children to be with you all the time but instead they moved on to live abroad. Well, in my opinion, you already have a perfect family. It's just that you have to learn to let your children go; when they grow up, they'll have their own lives. Looking on the brighter side, you could at least still chat with them through video conferencing (go get a webcam if you don't have one). Things would certainly be different a few years ago .. Ok, I'm giving a lecture again. Phew! I'll keep it short next time :) Take care.

I'd like to believe that the perfect family is a family that loves each other no matter how far or how near they are to each other. My family is in Canada while I stay here in the Philippines but no matter I can say that we have a perfect family since we love each other and stay in touch, we are there for each other even with the distance that separates us, whenever I need someone to talk to, my sister or my brother will call me or we'll talk via skype or ym, I just need to holler to them and vice versa.. whenever they are here we stay together and enjoy their vacation times together. We just have to make the best of what we have at least now, there are webcams available and we are able to each others faces and see the smile or the frown even the tears sometimes.

I am a primary school teacher and so I have met many families. Some are better than others but a perfect doesn't exist. One boy I taught had a dad that was a vicar. He was such a helpful and kind child. He had a younger sister that was polite and caring. His mum was lovely and his dad a wonderful person. Perhaps a more ideal family would have crystal clear communication with set boundaries. Those children were placid and didn't ever get challenging.

it is too hard to define the word perfect. at first i want to know what do u nmean by perfact. yes i have posted a comment to your first response. i have ignored the word perfect just tried to share my views. happy posting.

well i like to tell you i have a perfect family . if i have find any problem then my family gives me full support . so i think i have a perfect family .as we have very good understanding between each others,when ever we find any problem then we usually sit and try to think about the problem and gives our different solution to each others.i think there is ups and downs in everyone's life, life is struggle .if we win over the life then we are the happiest person on the earth

It depends upon one another's perception other's feel having a simple life, living together peacefully, loving and understanding each other with the parents who are responsible, supporting their children, and all have faith and love for God is a perfect family. It all depends on the standards we have to call it perfect. What maybe perfect for us is not for others.

perfect family is only be created in human mind. I don't think "perfect family" exist. Even in fairly tails and children's books, family issues are existed. Imagine the world and the family are perfect? life can be so boring, how individual learned from mistakes if there is no to be learn? How love will grow if each family members has no issue with each other? how family can be strengthen their relationship if there is no bumps to defend on?

No matter how you put it, there's no such thing as a perfect family. All individual are unique so even if they brought up by the same parent, they will still have different views in life. We cannot make our family live perfectly but we can make them live harmoniously, that is respecting each other. My family is not perfect. We also have difficulties but when facing other people, we don't let them see our difficulties because we settle it on our own. We don't want other people be involve whenever we have problems but one thing is for sure, though we are not perfect, I am 100% sure my family will be with each other whenever they need support and comfort.

Yah ...there is a perfect family in a way that every one of us have a problem but I do believe there is a perfect family like me.. Just pray together so that every problem that we face in our family we always help each other thru thick and thin....

out of the billions of family living here on earth, i think even a single one would seem perfect..there will be a perfect family if everyone in their household understand each other, supports each other and love each other..hmmmpf, i hope that mine to belong to it..someday..hehe

No there isen't. Mine def is not. No one cares about each other in mine. It seems like all people want to do in mine is gossip and tear each other down instead of helping each other out thats why I keep my distance.

If there is a perfect family, i have yet to see it. The hard truth is we all make mistakes, and the next thing we can do is fix them. A good family relies on the parents, the parents are the foundation of the family, and they are the ones who hold the family together, if they are to seperate then its not a family just scatterd people.

Eileenleyva, I am sure there are positive aspects to you not being under the same roof as your family. Imagine that some other people would like the opportunity to see for themselves what they can become on their own without the help of their families. Some families are just not helping. So it's better that they are far away.

There is no such thing as a perfect person, therefore there is no such thing as a perfect family. All people and families are different and unique in their own way and all have good and bad!

Yes there is , I think mine is a perfect family. We are all here in 1 house doing different rules at home. I have 2 daughters and we have all here in our country.I can see directly whats thier needs and problems and we can nourish them through the way because we are here all present at home. Yes that's true that communication is not the same with the presen t you can hug, kiss , lean on and comfort them an all the way. But that's life go on with it and keep communicating them always.

No, every family has their own issues, no family is perfect. That's part of life.

There is no such thing as perfect in this world. Whether it is a family, wealth, intelligence. Only God is perfect. Life would become boring if everybody is perfect. What are the things that you need to discuss if every thing is going perfect with you. Imperfection drives people to do something and work on things. Imperfection allows you to extend yourself and converse with each other. Imperfection spices up one's life. It is our imperfection that drives us to pray and call on God and have dependence on Him.

i dont think that there is such thing like the perfect family.You see it on the tv but its all a big lie.That is the perfect family but it is not possible to manage it.

Hi! nobody or no one is perfect only GOD is perfect, but we are all trying and do our best to be perfect especially to our love ones or family.
