So when we were in class on Tuesday, we were talking about how to make our family genealogies. This seems like a daunting project that is going to take up a lot of time and energy. I am kind of excited to do it though. It is really fun to learn about all of our different family structures and how crazy some can be organized. I loved hearing all the complicated and confusing make ups.
While we were all asking our questions as to how to draw out the really weird relationships and situations, I couldn't stop thinking about how no matter how complicated they got we all could still call our little make up our family. There were people that had been adopted and then those parents got divorced and remarried and then there were also their biological parents and siblings. Yet each person in each structure still had an important role and spot in the family unit. My family is kinda boring I guess compared to some other people in our class. But that is actually very interesting in itself. We have our weird dynamics and functions that are kind of odd and confusing. So instead of explaining how my aunt is actually my grandmother or how I have 3 different mothers I get to tell people how my family deals with stress or how we each show affection in our own special ways with each individual person.
