Oh, Debra, honey, I'm so glad we're finally talking about this. You know how it is - sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who really understands what's going on in this crazy family of ours.
Now, I know what you're thinking: "Marie, what are you talking about? We just have a big, loud argument and then we move on with our lives." But, sweetie, it's not that simple. The truth is, there are so many unseen forces at work in this family that keep us together, even when we're driving each other crazy.
First of all, let's talk about the unbreakable bond between Ray and me. I mean, those two were high school sweethearts, for goodness' sake! We've been through thick and thin together, and I'm not just talking about our years in therapy (although, yes, that was a real bonding experience).
Now, I know some people might say that parenting is all about individuality - you do your own thing, be your own person. But, let me tell you, dearie, that's just not true. When it comes to the Barone kids, we're a team. We work together, support each other, and fight together.
Debra, I know you think you're a great parent on your own, but trust me, sweetie, there's no substitute for sharing the load with your partner-in-crime (that's Ray). You need each other to navigate the ups and downs of raising three tiny humans. And let me tell you, it's not always easy. But when we work together, we're unstoppable.
So, what is this secret sauce that makes our family tick? Well, for starters, it's love. Lots and lots of love. And then there's the magic of shared experience. When we all come together to fight over who ate the last slice of pizza (it was always me, by the way), it creates a sense of unity that you just can't replicate with individual efforts.
And let's not forget about tradition! We've got our annual holiday dinner, where everyone comes together to argue and bicker (just kidding, sort of). But in all seriousness, those moments are what make us Barones. They're the foundation upon which we build our relationships and create lasting memories.
Speaking of traditions, I want to talk about something that's really important to me: family rituals. You know, like Sunday night dinner, or family game nights. These things are the glue that holds us together, Debra.
When we all come together to share a meal or play some games, it creates a sense of routine and comfort. And let's not forget about the arguing - it's always better with a full stomach and a few drinks in hand (wink).
So, what are these unseen forces that bind us together? Well, for starters, there's love. And then there's gratitude. We're a family that appreciates each other, even when we're driving each other crazy.
And finally, there's the magic of shared experience. When we all come together to create memories and make our own traditions, it creates a sense of unity that you just can't replicate with individual efforts.
So, Debra, there you have it - the secrets to the Barone family's success. It's not about being perfect; it's about being together, supporting each other, and loving each other through thick and thin (and all the arguments in between).
I know I can be a bit much sometimes (okay, maybe more than a bit), but that's just because I love you so much. And Ray too - he's my favorite person to annoy (just kidding, sort of). Seriously, though, our family is lucky to have each other, and I'm grateful every day for the blessings we share.
