I found it very interesting to indentify a few unspoken family rules in my house. Here are a few I came up with:
1. We all sit in certain spots for dinner
2. When we are sitting in the living room Dad has a lazy boy he always sits in and if one of us is sitting in it and he comes in we move. He doesn't even have to ask us we just know thats were he relaxes.
3. Dad drives the car
4. mom does the laundry
5. When I call home just to talk I call my mom.
6. When I call to ask a religious question I call my dad.
7. When Ann ( my sister) and her family come to visit my mom buys rolls for hogie sandwhiches.
8. Logan ( only boy in the family) always helps Dadwith the outside work.
These were just a few "family rules" I identified but there are many more. It is really interesting to me that we establish these rules in our homes without ever really stating them or writing them down. Everyone just kinda knows. I wonder what rules I will carry over into my house with my future family and how you make it so that everyone just knows. I wonder if my parents wanted to instigate these rules or if they just kinda happend?
