Family Systems

This week was very interesting.  I really liked the material we covered in class.  I learned a lot and actually have applied some of the things I learned.  We learned about systems in a family.  That each person has a role in the family, and the family has rules.  As we talked about the rules I thought about the rules in my family.  A few rules were there was an expected curfew and one unspoken rule was we as kids couldn't double ask.  For example if we asked mom to go play and she said no we couldn't go ask our dad.  We also learned about symbolic interaction, and exchange.  I also learned how to map my family.  Awesome week! :)
