i grew up in a traditional family. My father went to work every day and my mother stayed at home to take care of the kids. Every night my parents, my sister Ellen, and I had dinner together On Sunday afternoon, we went to my grandmother’s house for a big lunch. My aunt Mary, her husband, Tom, and their children came, too. after lunch I played games with my cousins, we all had fun together. I realize the value of family, but l’m raising my children the same way.
