   My parents had two. One threw out the family Christmas decorations that had   
   been in the family for yrs and didn't bother thanking most relatives for his   
   wedding presents and the other one broke off contact with them yrs ago.   
   Takes a lot of courage to raise children in this society considering that   
   many ppl don't believe they can give their children the same advantages they   
   had growing up and many religious ppl such as myself think we are living in   
   the End Times.
