Since its debut in 1979, For Better or For Worse has touched comic strip readers as few cartoons ever do. Cartoonist Lynn Johnston’s eye for detail and her uncanny sense of what real parents and children struggle with daily are a big part of her success. The world has watched the Patterson family grow up in real time, and to many readers, the Pattersons feel like family!
Parents and children alike will relate to the obstacles that the Patterson family faces. Curfews, parent date nights, babysitting, pets and distractions are all hurdles that the Pattersons must overcome in order to enjoy each other as a family. They face the same obstacles that real life families do, which is what makes them so loveable.

There’s nothing wrong with raising children!

Elly, when others are making money, you are making future leaders. It’s in the future, but elizabeth will be a great teacher whole will teach the future Prime minister of Canada, Micheal will have two wonderful children who will change the world. April will become a veterinarian, curing diseases and saving lives. The one phrase I have always hated is “Just a homemaker, or Housewife”. There is not such thing as Just A.

Some people think the grass is always greener on the other side. I know someone who was dying to get married when she was single. She got married and wished she was single again. She got divorced and is now dying to get married again. Never ending cycle.

We worry about what a child will be tomorrow, yet we forget that he is someone today.

and if he would stay home and raise them, she COULD go out and do things. They will go to schoole eventually.

Yes, Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Lopez show every sign of being well-reared.

Raised is common usage and reared (as in nitpicking has again reared it’s ugly head) would rather kill the bleeding pun wouldn’t it?
