Success Freaks #128 - Beyond Nuclear - Family in the 21st Century

Welcome to the new millenium! We may not have flying cars, interstellar space travel, or a healthcare system everyone can agree upon…. We do, however, in this day and age, have a family unit that stretches on beyond the “boundaries” of what was once considered the “Nuclear Family.” What once began as a One-Stop Mom & Pop Shop has now has now stretched beyond the “norm” to make room for not only single moms and single dads, but also double moms, double dads, grandparents & siblings taking on the role of traditional parents, and even – in some rare cases – the chillins a-raisin’ they’selves. What’s this world coming to? Is this a sign of the “End Times” as talked about in the movie Ghostbusters!? “Mass hysteria! Dogs & cats living together…!”

Join Mordant & McFall as they show you around the big top of this multi-ring family circus. In an age where “the norm” is no longer normal, it’s time to rethink our concept of the Nuclear Family and reshape it into what it truly is. Family is Family. As long as there is love and nurturing and a parental unit willing and able to teach a kid to throw a fastball, children raised in those homes will grow up healthy, happy and as well-adjusted as the rest of us “normal” people. Perhaps, even enjoying a better life than we dreamed possible.

We are speaking of reality here. Some of us were raised in the perfect home with the perfect home life. The rest of us discovered therapists…or became comedians and worked through our issues onstage in front of people who would laugh at our lives anyway. Either way, those misadventures make for some good stories – told while sitting “around the campfire” to those we now consider…our family.
