I like the tag of thehumancondition, I think it fits in quite nicely. What surprised me most about other families is exactly the opposite. I was amazed that other parents didn't make their kids eat together at the dinner table. I was forced to eat with my family, with the TV off every single night. I still do it to this day whenever I'm home. I think it really helped me make good family connections, and I guess behave better. I traveled, but only on driving vacations with my family, not to see other peoples' homes. If I had seen more families living in different ways I'm sure I would've had slight culture shock. I was raised in a well structured family, and I love them for that.
