Intenational Families Day

May 25, 2009

Apparently, May 15 is a very important day to some people since it is International Families Day.  Due to this recent celebration I will discuss the ideal family in the United States.  The ideal family starts out by not being perfect.  Perfection is highly overrated and should never be attempted. The Family should be open-minded, not loose in values but open to other ideas in order to improve their circumstances.  Fathers should be the head of a household so I’ll start with him.  He should find a healthy balance between his work and his suburban household.  He should also know that decisions should not be made by one person and instead be discussed with everyone for the best outcome. If possible he should also be a member of a different political party than the mother in order to avoid complete agreement between the two.

The mother in this family also needs a few characteristics in order to fit in the ideal family.  She should be strong minded, but not to the point of interfering with the alpha command of the father.  Housecleaning would be one of her main responsibilities, but not to the point of obsessing over minute details which no one else would notice.  The  ideal family should have two kids only.   Three and up create too much confusion and financial expenditures, but only children  grow up to be egotistical shrinks.  These two kids should be required to take responsibilities for their actions at a young age and if possible play only one sport because multi-sport children will lose focus on the one they exceed at the most proficiently.

My final note is the pets since most Americans consider them part of their “family”.  First, no dogs, ever, end of sentence.  Second, one or two cats are preferable and a rodent will always supply a good laugh.
