FAMILIES CHANGE.......

         FAMILY IS NOT WHAT IT USE TO BE......FAMILIES LIVED FAIRLY CLOSE TOGETHER....AND IT USE TO BE A TIME WHEN YOU COULD GO TO YOUR GRANDPARENT'S HOUSE........HANGOUT AND EAT WITH FAMILY AND HAVE A GOOD TIME......NOW EVERYONE CHOOSES WHO THEY WANT TO DEAL WITH......AUNTS AND UNCLES CHOOSE WHICH KID TO BE PROUD OF......BROTHERS AND SISTERS TREAT FRIENDS MORE LIKE FAMILY....COUSINS TALK ABOUT EACH OTHER NOT TO EACH OTHER...... GRANDPARENTS SEEM TO SPEND MORE TIME WITH CERTAIN GRANDKIDS.......THE ONES THAT LIVE NEAR BY OR ARE YOUNGER AND NEED RIDES OR BABY SITTING.......NOT BECAUSE THEY LIKE ONE MORE THAN THE OTHER.......AND THE ONLY TIME THE WHOLE FAMILY GETS TOGETHER IS FOR A FUNERAL OR WEDDING..........I DO SEE THIS IN SOME LUCKY FAMILIES........MY SISTER'S KIDS ARE IN AND OUT ALL THE TIME.....EAT, EAT, EAT.....VISIT AND ENJOY EACH OTHER.....SO MANY FAMILIES ONLY SEE THEIR KIDS WHEN THEY NEED TO BORROW SOMETHING OR DROP OFF THEIR KIDS.......WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO JUST COMING BY TO SAY HI AND HANGING OUT ON THE COUCH A BIT?
