Social Networking

Social networking is so important to stay connected with your friends and relatives in your busy life. I love to go on facebook to see what people are up to. I especially enjoy looking at peoples picture of their kids, vacations, etc.... I feel with out a facebook page you are not socially connected with the world. This is not a bad thing. I have relatives that live out of town so I enjoy talking to them and they enjoy looking at my kids pictures and seeing the success they are having in there everyday activities.

Many people also post situations on facebook that do not need to be there such as divorce issues, personal problems. I look to facebook for the positive side of things. I am guilty of putting negative things on there too. I know that this is will get to the person indirectly like I wanted it to. I am not good at face to face confirontations so this is a good way for me to express my feelings. Yes this has come to bite me in the ass.

Whats your views on facebook or any other social network?

Functional or Dysfunctional

I think that every family has a tendency to be a dysfunctional family and a functional family. Some familes are very good at putting on a show infront of others to protray a perfect family but really when they are at home they are very disfunctional.

Coming from a divorced family I can speak of both sides to a functional and disfunctional family. We were very functional to the people on the outside but when it came to us at home we were really disfunctional. We didnt have a loving family we were a family of a disorganized mess. My father was never home so my mom was in charge of everything. This was not an easy task for her especially since she was a mom of two active girls. She was the one who made our family to be functional. She was the rock that we all stood by.

On the other hand my father was the one who caused alot of disfunction when he was around he wanted to mess up the routine and give his two cents. He was the one who wanted to think we had a perfect family but in the end we really didnt. He decided that he was in love with another woman and left my mom to raise two teenage girls. This actually helped our family to be more on the functional side. It actually was a blessing.
