MomThought

Welcome, I’m Joan Romero at MomThought.com   Thanks for joining me today.  Today’s MomThought is, Extended Family. 

I love getting together with extended family.  It’s not like getting together with friends for a playgroup, a lunch, or a dinner, or even seeing people you know at church.  When you get together with extended family it’s usually over an extended period of time, and no one can put on a facade for more then a day or two.  Come day three and four true colors are shining through. 

So as I watch my extended family, my siblings with their children, I think we are all doing pretty good and we’re all pretty normal here.  It’s reassuring to see that we all have the same problems.  We are all doing the best we can.  And the things that I thought were so traumatic and so hard, end up looking much more healthy and normal - this is just the way it is right now - things will change and that’s good too. 

Yes, spending time with our extended family reassures us that we are pretty normal.
