0:00.0	Thanks for listening to my call of the day podcast. You can hear my live radio program Monday through Friday from two to five PM Eastern time on serious XM.
0:10.0	I'm 11 Jessica. Welcome to the program. Hi, Dr. Laura. Thank you so much for taking my call. Thank you. What's up?
0:20.0	I will like you know I'm pulled over on the side of the reds that I can talk to you. So hopefully you can hear me okay.
0:26.0	So the conversation that you've been having I've been in and out of it today has been about family fairness.
0:35.0	And if something I've always struggled with.
0:39.0	I am very aware that well for some I'll tell you I'm 41. I'm a middle child. I'm a grown woman with a family of my own.

2:06.0	Over the years. Okay.

2:14.0	Your personality matters too.
2:18.0	Your personality is a good fit with certain other personalities and not so great fit. So some people you like them better than others and you put up with them because all in all they are good friends.
2:31.0	That's what happens in families also.
