What's the best thing about your family? What do you do as a family? Do you have an open communication with your parents and siblings?

Hi, Sound like you have a little stress on you about your family thing. Are you a stay home mom? if so, then it would happen a lot cuz you deal with a lot of things ... your son, and your husband and your housework and cooking... all kinds of stuff. Well, Family is my main priority. I have to put everything behind them. I love my husband, my two daughters and everything about them. I know sometimes, they are way too much for me but they are my angles... They always there for me and make me laugh, make me feel like this is family and that's the best thing about my family cuz they keep me alive. I am the head of household, well... yes, I am a woman and I a head of household. My husband always let me decide what I want to do and everything I control. Not everything I over control but I mean, most of the thing that I do, he always agree and let do it together. I do open communication with him sometimes but he always ask for my opinion more than I ask him. for instant, we just got a IMAC 27" shipped two days ago... he asked me where to put it. I said, some where that you love the most... and it is all your, so you decide. He said, Can I put in my office? is that ok with you? wow, when I heard that I was like, why do you have to ask me like that? everything in the house and everything we have are equal and you can do anything you want... as long as you dont cheat on me :). well, he is such a good person... easy going and always talk or ask for my advice first and I do the same to be fair to him.

Wow! You are very blessed! And your husband and daughters are sooo lucky to have you! I'm a single mom. Even though my parents are helping me financially, I really have to work hard, double time, for my son's future. Still adjusting in this different world and surviving. But I'm sure things will be better soon. I have make sure my son is healthy, safe, happy and loved. :)

I guess the best about my family is that we don't feel jealous about good things that happen to each member ..I mean I feel so guilty when I feel envious of my friends achievements. I guess it's because we feel that we are just one person. In the same way, we feel for each other when not so good things happen. I guess many would not agree when I say open communication is important but not very important. Genuine concern for each other is what's important.
