Day 24 - Family dynamics

April challenge
Day 24 - Describe your family dynamic of your childhood vs. your family dynamic now.

Wow, hard one again. I don't even know how to describe my family dynamics. For starters, most of the time we all get along really well. We're a pretty close family in general and I'm especially close with my parents and my two younger siblings who I lived with most of my life (and even went to parts of college with). I don't think there's too much that has changed since I was a kid to now in how our family works together. We were never a democracy, but for sure never a dictatorship either. I think it was more like a democracy in which my parents has a few extra votes. They definitely were in charge, but they did a good job to ask us our opinions on matters, especially important ones, before they were actually decided. I really appreciated that about my parents. We had disagreements, of course, as any family does, but we worked through them and I feel like we just came out stronger and closer after each one. And I don't think that's really changed. Now it's a bit different, though, since nobody is living at home full time. But it's just a new season in the wonderfulness of our family dynamics. Now the kids can play host to the parents when they come to visit. And we all have more equal votes, although my siblings and I, I think, will always carefully factor my parents thoughts into what we will eventually decide to do. All in all, it was a pretty great childhood and it's shaping up to a pretty great adulthood as well! Love all you guys, you crazy awesome Q. family!
