Tradition Ain't Bad But is it Best?

By Scott Hendrickson, LCPC

 

When it comes to families we often strive to create a good ole fashioned traditional one. When I think of traditional families It means two parent homes, a wife who takes care of the house (mostly), a husband who is the main bread winner and handles the outdoor stuff, a mom who provides a majority of the nurturing and a dad the discipline (and takes everyone on a great vacation every year).  That is the ideal most people were presented as the family to aspire to.
