A REAL HOME is a playground. Beware of the house where no
rough-housing is allowed and no cries of glee are heard.A REAL HOME is a workshop. Pity the child who is unfamiliar with
wrenches and hammers, knitting needles, thread, screwdrivers and saws.A REAL HOME is a forum. Honest, open discussion of life’s great
problems belongs originally and primarily in the family circle.A REAL HOME is a secret society. Loyalty to one’s family should mean
keeping silent on things that are the family’s business and no one else’s.A REAL HOME is cooperative. Households flourish in peace when the
interest of each is the interest of all.A REAL HOME is a school. Many of life’s most important and lasting
lessons are learned here, both early in life and later on.A REAL HOME is a temple, where people are loved and respected
and where life is appreciated, in the recognition that life in all its parts is
a gift of God, with our family being our personal and most precious gift.Is your home, A REAL HOME?
I wish I could answer that question without hurting anyone, myself included.
