Is there a perfect family?

I'm just wondering. I have a good family. But they are not perfect. Sometimes I'm happy being with them and sometimes they piss me off. Will you call me a stupid b"*tch if I ask God for a new set of family? A perfect one? Am I called ungrateful when I want to have a perfect family where I can always be happy and all? It's not that I don't like my family, I do.. But there's just this other feeling inside me that I'm craving for a perfect family where I can just be happy.

i don't think in this world there is a perfect family, because for me there is a always a misunderstanding between husband and wife in which there is sometimes lack of communication in a family. between the children you can't really avoid the sibling rivalry in which one child wants to have something that like of the others. there is always a squabble among the children. so thats i can say that there is no perfect family.

Having a perfect family is not all that easy to obtain. You would have certain standards that you would have to meet and after awhile it might be cumbersome, and hard to attain. I don't have a perfect family, either. We have all made our mistakes, have hurt each other in one form or another, and have pissed each other off as well. I don't have a dysfunctional family, but it sure isn't perfect. It is a very small family, just a few of us, and none of us really get along as well as we should. My son and daughter are always at each others throats and they are married and have families of their own. My ex and I are still on speaking terms since our divorce, but I wish it had never happened. Anyway, good luck in finding that perfect family out there, and happy mylotting.

A Perfect family is not made overnight, it is a product of concerted and prayerful endeavours for a long period of time! It starts with who you choose for a partner-is he/she loving, caring, honest,disciplined and trust-worthy? If these answers are in the affirmative, then you have a platform for a perfect family bcause the offsprings from this marriage will fall into a setting where doing anything that takes away the beauty in familyhood becomes an aberation! In otherwords, your parents laid the foundation for a perfect family for you, arriving in a perfect family of your own is perfectly in your hands-if you fault-start your own family by marrying a problematic partner,then dont expect a perfect family from the blue!

Wow, you are looking for perfection, hard to find! I really don't think there are any perfect families in this world. A perfecgt family wouldn't be fun anyway, its all the crazy stuff families do that makes us laugh and love each other. We can't pick our family but I wouldn't want a perfect one anway, talk about a sterile world. My family is definately not perfect but I wouldn't want to give them up!

I don't think there is ever such a thing as perfect family. though you may think that your neighbor has a perfect family, I believe there is, somehow, a problem within the family. You can always wish for a new family, but you know that it would never happen, so just accept the fact that they are your family and somehow, you just didn't realize, they make you happy most of the time of your life.
