That gives whomever is listening a good bit of info: we're compatible, we're autonomous, and the kids are healthy and happy and whole. You can just see everyone's hunched-up shoulders relax as soon as they get that our picture is a happy one.

No one I know has it--although many people have great families--life has bumps and warts and all sorts of stuff that keeps us from having "it all". Whatever "it all" is. Simply realizing that what you have is pretty darn good even though it's messy is a huge blessing. Looks like you are very blessed.

I happen to agree very much. Also, I know I didn't comment on it but I LOVE what you wrote about the 3 day rule. Awesome thoughts and advice, wouldn't we all benefit applying that to every relationship we have?!? You’ve said it very well here Jill. I happen to agree very much.
