Based on the Leave It to Beaver episode about Ward’s problem, the family has an unrealistic view on family life. The positive characteristics that should define family life include happiness, honesty, and respect towards everyone. On the other hand, there’s little communication in this family because no one wants to step on anyone else’s’ toes. In general family members should interact with each other in the most honest way possible, even if it leads to arguments and problems. I would say that my family has some of these characteristics, but we’re not the “perfect” 1950’s TV family.
Right now my mom, dad, my dog and me are the only people who live in the house. My brother is going to FSU, but he sometimes comes home for holidays or special occasions. The main role of my mom is to figure out dinner and clean the house. I usually help around the house, take care of the dog, or do yard work. My dad pretty much just works and then comes home and does maintenance work around the house. I guess this is a pretty stereotypical set-up for a family, but we don’t meet up to the unrealistic expectations of family life.
