The family interaction of family members typically follows organized, established patterns based on the family structure; these patterns enable each person to learn what is permitted or expected of him or her as well as of others in family transactions (Goldenberg, Goldenberg, Stanton, 2016). Usually unstated, such rules characterized, regulate, and help stabilize how and how well families function as a unit (Goldenberg, Goldenberg, Stanton, 2016). Growing up as a child I notice that my parents had develop different duties to keep our family organize. My mother's duties were to cook, clean, help us with our homework, etc. My father duties were to provide for our family, take out the trash, mow the grass, practice with my siblings and I with our sports. I didn't see them cross over each other's duties unless one of them had to work late. These duties help organize our family and not make a spouse be so overwhelmed with so many duties at once.
My siblings and I had rules we had to abide by. All members also learn the family metarules, which typically take the form of understated family directives offering principles for interpreting rules, enforcing rules, and changing rules (Goldenberg, Goldenberg, Stanton, 2016). Here are some of the rules. Our parents decided our bedtime, my sister and I help with dishes and dinner, while my father and brother take out the trash and mow the grass. We also had certain times we had to talk on the phone to our friends. Since I was the oldest I had two hours and 30 minutes to talk on the phone while my other two siblings had only an hour and fifth teen minutes. We also weren't able to sit in the front seat of the until we start going to middle school. We are not allowed interrupt our parents while they were talking. We couldn't go outside to play or play any games without finishing our homework and chores.
To build a good relationship, it starts with communication. My parents have great communication with each other. When they have any type of disagreement they talk things out. My parents are also great with communicating with my siblings and I. When we were younger, they would also sit us down and talk to us. We would talk about how our day was in school and if we had any problems. They are active listens and understanding. Now, that we are older these communication skills didnt stop. I'm also a great active listener. Many people come to me with their problems because I am a good listener. Since, my brother was the trouble maker in school, my parents always seem to communicate with him more. The reason why was to guide him the right direction and away from trouble. Sometimes when my parents communicate with my brother he made no eye contact, his body language showed as if he didn't care. My sister has good communication skills, and an active listener,
My parents, sibling and I all have great personalities. My parents are very caring and loving. They were also supportive in every event we were active in and still supportive. My sibling and I had an objective relationship with our mother when we were younger. Objective relations theory views the infant's experiences in relationship to the mother of primary caregiver as the main determinant of adult personality formation (Goldenberg, Goldenberg, Stanton,2016). Nothing from our experience had a negative impact on how we are today. Our experience actually made us a greater person as an adult. We don't have problems coping to problems or changes.
