Funny enough - it was you and a couple of my close friends who I thought of when I wrote the proceeding line ...hoping those of you would know I "see you" and applaud that it does work beautifully; I do recognize this is not a "one size fits all."

The dynamic of the marriages plays a huge part in this as well as cultural biases that some of us grow up with and aren't easily shaved off in one generation; I'm sure my children will raise their own differently - as it naturally evolves.

I'm glad that your children are your best friends - it clearly has been the best for all of you!

Thanks for the candid reply! 💚
