Americans, Do You Know Who You Are?

Things to Think Over.

The article "What's going on with American family?" is one of series of articles we are planning to write, all touching subjects that are very important for everybody in this country. We deeply believe that a family is the most important, substantial element of every society. We are the first and the most important teachers of our kids. Everything they learn in a loving, caring atmosphere of their home, they will carry throughout their entire life, and they will pass to their children. That's why, from the very beginning it was our goal to devote as much time as possible to our kids. That was the reason why one of us - Rosa - was working for years as an Apartment manager, to be home with our kids and to spend as much quality time with them as possible. No matter how busy we were, we always found time to talk to our kids whenever they needed either to share with us their joy, or to tell about their problems. Sometimes, because of so called "peer pressure" or "bad environment", all the good stuff our children learned can be suppressed, but - in some critical life moments they will automatically act as they've been taught by the parents (we know that from our family's experience). People were asking us many times what is a secret of the fact that we are so many years together and love and respect each other so much. We believe that this article touches several important issues and that it will make many think about these issues, that it will provoke, initiate some action.
