Families

I grew up in an (1) family as my grandparents and a couple of aunts and an uncle, who was a (2) bachelor, lived with us. We saw a lot of our (3) relatives as well as our close ones. I think that families tended to be much more (4) then – we talked to each other more and did things together more. I’m sure there are far more (5) families now than there used to be – you know, where parents hardly spend any time with their children, or with each other – and a lot of parents who are divorced. My (6) wife, who died two years ago, used to say that it is not fair on children to let them grow up in (7) homes.
