We all live in separate states. I grew up in a small town in northwest Ohio. I was so lucky to have most of my relatives nearby. When you needed help, there was always someone to ask. Now we all get moved around by our jobs that few families have their extended families near. We miss so much now by not sharing the day to day activities of our loved ones. It used to be unusual to even drink your morning coffee alone. Now few young people even knows what that was like. So many families have been hurt by these distances in ways that are just being discovered. Now to help out young parents who don't have their folks near for all the questions when a family is just beginning, there are Early Childhood Development classes at many school districts. This can solve the problems while they're still easily manageable. Family, children, and pets just seem to go together. If you like petsclick here
