A while back I came across a full-page article in a nationally published newspaper that revealed the “third space.” I immediately thought of family life, my childhood, and growing up in the “fourth space.” Being the “little tick” in a young, roughneck, four-sibling family, I had to “hustle” to keep up and be a part of it. I spent plenty of time wrapped in “Plaster of Paris” casts to let broken bones heal. Then to think of the families of past generations of a dozen or more sibling and all those spaces of family protocol. So, why was this article so entrenched in the “third space” of family life?
What is the meaning of the ‘third space’?
