Ditto for me and my 2 sisters, and my 2 children, and now it appears our 4 grand children are on the "expectations" path. All of us as adults have been very successful in life and all believe we've had, and offered, loving family lives. No divorces either, we are, for example, coming up on our 50th in a few months.
