I recently met an old friend who worked in a family business. His father built it up and is still involved in it. Due to constant family feuds, the son has left the business and isn’t working. Although there are some very successful family enterprises, they are not for the faint hearted. There is an old saying, “clogs to clogs in three generations”.
Some families seem to manage to respect each other and be mutually supportive. At a funeral I attended recently, one of the sons publicly thanked his brother for all the support he had been to the family during a difficult time.
