Family

   Since Adam and Eve, the family has been a key topic in society. It has especially evolved and there has been changes like polygamy, divorce, single parenting, gay, lesbian parenting, or the parents aren't married but have kids and live together. In 1995 the LDS church came out with the Family proclamation to the world. I have read it and it really gives the guide lines and law of what God expects from us.
     The family is very important, and with the world we live in today it as been attacked and we know Satan is the one behind it all. Some of the ways that the family is being attacked is the roles of Fatherhood and Motherhood.I know I have heard from my grandfather that in his time and before the husbands would be the ones to go to school, get and education and go to work to provide and protect his wife and family. The mothers were staying home, raising the children, doing laundry, cooking, comforting their children and teaching the kids.
      In just a few generations, the family roles have changed.You find more often the mother's going to work and it really changes the kids lives growing up. you find the kids more often distant from their parents and siblings, wanting to do what pleases them, and they tend to get into more trouble.
       When I was in high school, I went to this camp where many other guys came from different states and even one from Australia. Each night we would all sit around the campfire and talk about our lives and hearing the experiences were stunning and hard to hear. I kid you not when asked what their parents did most to all said they both worked and would hardly ever be at home. It was hard to hear peoples life stories of broken homes,and how blessed I was.As some might not know, I was an orphan the first year of my life in Tula, Russia. I had no parents just a crib and other babies in the same situation as me. But it was a miracle that my brother who was adopted from a different orphanage and I were brought to America and sealed into an LDS stable traditional family. Not many get that opportunity but I hope one day that I can help the families who have broke homes and help strengthen them
