Unspoken Rules

This week in class we discussed different system theories and how different families function. Every family has rules that are never established but for some reason they are a rule.

Here are some of my families unspoken rules:
1. We have family dinner every night together
2. We all have designated spots around the dinner table
3. If you are out later than planned call mom to let her know where you are at and when you will be home
4. Do your homework before play
5. Be respectful to siblings
6. Mom does laundry
7. I wash the dog
8. When you have a computer issue talk to dad
9. Winners pick up the game
10. When our parents go to the temple, us kids clean the house to surprise them
11. Before traveling we all say a prayer together

These are only a few of the unspoken rules that our family have, and I am sure there are many more. It's interesting how every family functions differently and the way you are raised plays a role in these rules because they come second nature to you. It will be interesting what my future family's unspoken rules will be someday and if any of my immediate families rules will carry over or if I will have completely different ones.
