What I have learned this week is that all family members affect each other. We even have hidden rules that we follow in our families that allow us to live together smoothly without killing each other. For instance one of mine in my family was you turned the TV down and were absolutely quite whenever someone was on the phone. I learned this when I was playing with my brother too loud. My Dad happened to be taking a business call and I received a swift kick to the butt to shut me up. Little rules like this are how many families function. We all have our own little hidden rules that we grow up with and take with us into our new families. These are what make every family different.
