Re: Has Tradition And Respect Gone From The Old Days

Well all ive heard so far is a 50/50 view on the tradition respect matter, which to me is good.. ive heard the mention of huggs and kissies towards other family members which leads me to say i never kissed or hugged or remember kissing a family member includeing my mum ever,, that was until i was about 30 and id seen more warmer familys,,, then i made a move to hugg my mother and kiss her and god forgive but i hugged my dad ( it felt good ),, i posted this tradition and respect value about familys not being as close as they used to be,,, as my wife is romanian and ive been married to her for five years,, we,ve just moved back to accy from fair and far, and she thought being more near the family in accy would make a world of diffrence,,, but now she cant work out y my family never come and visit,,,,, of course im used to it ( its all in one word " COLD " )...
i think diffrent now because of my wife and her annouence towards my kin,,, as every time ive been to romania my wifes family are never far apart....and yes i hugg and kiss my children all the time and will always till there old and one good reason is y is because i dont remember it,, thanks for your comments and veiws.. p.s i dont mean to be a pain towards anyone but my family are irish and catholic,, but as people said in the 70,s and 80,s i can remember lots of us around at our grannys all the time,,, but not anymore
