How to be an ideal family?

We're used to watered-down magazine photos, cheerful movie endings, and family ads.

We always perceive “an ideal family” even if we don't comprehend what it entails.

To answer this topic, we must define “perfect family” and how we may be happy in our house even if we are “imperfect” or not in the society “ideal”.

Most medical business, Caribbean vacation, and vehicle insurance ads feature a couple, a boy, and a girl. a girl

Naturally, they are cheerful, holding hands, and well-groomed. This is the ideal family we've been taught since childhood and should strive for.

When you are in a relationship, you are asked when the wedding is, when you are married, about the baby, and after your first child is born, we want to know when the second (or “little brother”) is due.

With their queries, people guide you on their “natural” route.

The fantasy of the perfect family, which we have inherited from generation to generation, may be linked to species continuity or to parental aid based on sex (daughter in housework, son in the fields).

To take a family portrait like the ones in the advertising, we must feel happy and smile brightly.

Many believe home bliss is impossible. Others must work for it daily.

Bruce Feiler's essay The Secrets of Happy Families states that we need others to feel good.

How can we educate children in a nice setting if adults "don't take care of them"?

Despite our ideals, nice families are not always happy, as represented on TV, movies, and ads.

First, because a good family values unity and unconditionality over happiness.

Siblings fight, but they know they can always count on one other.

A decent family is a home, a place to escape, and a place we can always depart because family members understand our mistakes best.

They will also be the most real, telling us when we're wrong and sharing our excitement when we achieve.

A good family laughs and fills our voids with memories.

It brings back childhood memories we rarely remember and reminds us of our childhood and adult misdeeds so we don't forget to laugh at ourselves.

Communication is essential in any connection, including family.

This approach helps parents and children feel joyful, welcomed, appreciated, and understood.

Looking at all the values for their meaning is similar to rowing in the same direction or looking in the same direction in a forest.

This perfection will sometimes be hidden, and we will have to fight to see it again.

However, it is also a teaching and a method to stand together through our hardships.

Finally, the finest families are those where everyone feels included.

Families where we share joy and sorrow, where strength comes from unity and time together.
