Until recently I always felt our home a very safe place to talk about things. I have tons of conversations with the kids about things that most parents don't broach and they've always been very open. BUT... we do have this atmostphere of "niceness". Where some families holler and get things out, like it or not, we're all more likely to keep the peace. I like that we have always been respectful and considerate of one another (within the family) yet I know true feelings need to come out as well, even if they are conflicting.
