As we approach Mother's Day in less than 12 hours, the recurring theme of family is being tossed around. In the black community specifically, a lot of children are left to celebrate a woman who has been both the mother and father. In fact, kids are born to a staggering 70% of single mothers in America. I always wonder why can't we all have the standard family unit. And then I watched a webisode titled 'Red Table Talk' with Jada Pinkett-Smith, her mother, and Willow Smith.

Red Table Talk
Then I came up with a theory. Maybe what the black family structure is missing is simple communication. How many of you can say that your family eats dinner together? And if so, do ya'll talk with each other about anything? Strong communication builds strong relationships. Too many times we are too scared to ask our parents about things vice versa. This may not change your family situation now, but it will be helpful to you and your future children. Every family should be together, even if it all it takes is a little table talk.

I TOTALY AGREE Communication is the key. We all should be able to communicate effectively and be nonjudgmental on anyones point of view
