As we were watching family ties in class the other day, I couldn't help but notice that the family that is portrayed in the show is hardly at all what the family really looks like. For one thing, the brothers and sisters get along too well. also, the point that was made in class about the mom being a working mother and still having the time to clean and cook and make everyone happy was a good point. that was definetly a little too unrealistic. how could a mom, that is an architect for one, still find the time,or have the energy for that matter, to do all of the things that a stay at home mom or a made does. i find that a little too hard to believe.
