LOL, but the good intentions are there and that's what matters.
When you travel through Europe, you will notice the different mentalities. In general, Southern cultures are much more family oriented, but up here in the North is a different story..

Maybe it has something to do with city folks verses those who live in rural communities. My daughter-in-law and her family are exceptionally close. My son and his wife live in a Bavarian country village where she was raised.

That plays a role as well, plus the fact that these days, people settle themselves anywhere. I have family members living in multiple parts of the country and Europe. Only my father lives in the same town.

Yes, the world is different for many people today. Years ago, many people stayed in the same place where they were born until the day they died.  Multigenerational families lived under one roof.

You still see this in some foreign countries and it is starting to be more common in the States. My daughter-in-law's parent's house is on three levels. Each level had separate living quarters. Her parents lived on the main floor, her sister and her family lived on the second floor and when her sister's oldest daughter wanted to be on her own she moved into the basement. Our granddaughter had a apartment in the basement of her parent's house until she decided to move in with her boy friend and they rented a place a block away. Our daughter, her husband and son have intermittently occupied the second floor of our house, mainly when our son-in-law was deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. They may be moving back in early next year for an indefinite time and to save up to buy a house of their own.

It's funny because it is kind of a slam on Getbig to suggest that someone is living in their mother's basement. Just goes to show how some Getbiggers are behind the times. A lot of young people today are staying at home longer then they did when I was a kid. I was out the door at 18 years of age....on my 18th birthday to be precise.

I started my 8th week of physical therapy today. My knee is feeling pretty good. For some reason my right calf was cramped up when I got up this morning and I was having issues with numbness in both my feet. I was still able to do all the physical therapy, including balancing on one foot while play catch with Lindsey, my therapist. She suggested we go to once a week therapy  for awhile at the end of this week.....maybe she likes me?
