I called my parents mom and dad instead of their names. I have nicknames for my siblings and I knew them very well when I was growing up. When I see my family now it is also usually casual. Me and my siblings will go over to my parents house for dinner and everyone will catch up. I feel able to express my feelings around my family freely.]]> 2022-02-10 23:57:39 UTC https://padlet.com/cheggwow6969/6w2plj67f4ikl22z/wish/2041368550 cheggwow6969 https://padlet.com/cheggwow6969/6w2plj67f4ikl22z/wish/2041374589 My family always put priority on respecting elderly people. On my dad's side of the family, my grandfather would kind of be the patriarch. He was in charge of extended family get togethers (even if he did not organize them). When my extended family would get together my grandfather would give a kind of lesson. Everyone would get together and he would share thoughts that he wanted his family to know. Usually he focused on teaching the younger kids respect and discipline. He was always regarded as very wise and deserved our attention and respect.]]> 2022-02-11 00:03:50 UTC https://padlet.com/cheggwow6969/6w2plj67f4ikl22z/wish/2041374589 cheggwow6969 https://padlet.com/cheggwow6969/6w2plj67f4ikl22z/wish/2041380827 The major decisions in my family were made by my parents. Both my mother and father are very strongly opinionated. For most decisions my mother would make the call what the family was going to do and my dad would go along with it. However, in situations that were really important they usually spent a long time debating what to do getting each others opinions and trying to compromise. My mom's priority was always about her kids. My dad's priority was also taking care of the family but he was more concerned about financial aspect. ]]> 2022-02-11 00:10:01 UTC https://padlet.com/cheggwow6969/6w2plj67f4ikl22z/wish/2041380827 cheggwow6969 https://padlet.com/cheggwow6969/6w2plj67f4ikl22z/wish/2041401179 I have two sisters a sister 4 years younger than me and a sister 2 years older. When we were really small I did not notice a ton of differences in child-rearing practices although I am sure there was. When I turned around 8 I noticed some major differences in how we were raised. I had more expectations for me to fulfill with work and chores outside the home. I was in-charge of the more physically demanding jobs like tilling our garden in the spring. When I was 11 my dad purchased some abandoned apartments with his brother. I was expected to help my father renovate the apartments every evening on weekdays after he got off work and all day on the weekends. It was a really good experience and taught me a lot of skills. Even though as a kid I thought it was unfair that my sisters didn't have to help! I now realize that it was actually a privilege to be able to learn those skills. I now manage the apartments that I live in and its because of experiences I had with my father while I was young. I don't think my parents intentionally treated us different but it was just a subconscious action. A reflection of the culture they were raised in.]]> 2022-02-11 00:26:25 UTC https://padlet.com/cheggwow6969/6w2plj67f4ikl22z/wish/2041401179
