The phrase “Family is Everything” has always gotten under my skin.
The popular syrupy sentiment is often paired with photos of smiling faces on social media. There are millions of posts tagging #familyiseverything.
You can find it on faux wood signs, Wordart pictures, T-Shirts, and coffee mugs at box stores.
Culturally, it’s a widely held belief.
What bothers me the most is that the phrase is true, but not in the way everyone spins it.
The kids mind inhabits a radically different reality then what you have been through so how do you ever expect him to cope with the world since you barely could? Kids having kids end up on the skids.
