2001-12-04 - 11:07 p.m.� I have a friend at work who is endlessly intrigued by my family. More specifically, by my no good bum of a father. Everytime we eat lunch together I end up delving into more "shocking" tales of dear old Dad's irresponsibility and selfishness. She seems to find my life a little sordid, definitely strange and unusual. I'm making her sound like a jerk, I know, but she isn't. She is completely innocent and non-offensive in her interest. She comes from what she calls a "Leave it to Beaver" family. I keep telling her that makes her family far more strange and unusual than mine. I can barely think of any of my friends, other than her, who are living in/have come from a happy, sane, well functioning nuclear family. I almost wrote that I couldn't think of anyone at all, but I do have a couple of friends whose families are Leave it to Beaver-ish. Not many though. Most of friends have divorced parents, and if their parents are still together, there are serious problems with the marriage. But somehow, the nuclear family is still largely looked upon as the norm. Sometimes society just baffles me.
