Mary often wished she had a family that was more like the family in Leave It To Beaver, heres why:



The Karr Family
Dysfunctional

Mother very unaffectionate

Poor

Children raised themselves

Parents drank in large amounts

Children fought with each other

Kids more anti-social

Angry most of the time

United yet separate



The Cleaver Family

Parents interested in kids' lives

Mother affectionate with her kids

Supportive

Kids more social

Parents affectionate with each other

Happy

United

Polite

Peaceful, loving
