The Real Modern Family
The real modern family
Does not have perfect children
Does not have two loving, married parents
Does not keep in touch
Does not love everyone else in the family
Does not have children of the same parents
Does not have a perfect past
Does not have a perfect future
The real modern family
Has children that are arrested, do drugs, and keep secrets
Has parents that fight when they see each other
Has not seen many family members in a while
Has hatred and resentment strewn about
Has step-kids, adopted kids, and kids we consider family
Has a crummy past with small happy moments
Has more hurdles to jump with small happy moments
