IS THIS A TYPICAL AMERICAN FAMILY?

My husband and I are Conservative Jews.  Both of our sons are Orthodox, but they don't always agree.  So I try to stay out of their "discussions" whenever possible.  When necessary, I do step in and try to get them to realize that they're both entitled to their own beliefs.   I sometimes find myself in a precarious position trying to maintain shalom bayit (peace in the family).  But my sitiuation seems relatively easy to handle when compared with a family that I just heard about.  The mother is Conservative but goes to an Orthodox shul.  The father is Reform.  One adult child is an athiest.  The other married a Catholic.
