Yesterday's lecture was pretty interesting about the divisions of power. I had never really thought about how the power was shared in my family. My parents make a lot of decisions together but there were definitely some differences of who to go to for what. My mom was always the one who made all the decisions about the daily activities. She got to decide when we got to go to our friend's houses or what we could do on the weekends. My dad would make the bigger decisions like when our family would go places together. Both my mom and dad would decide the most important decisions together like what we did as a family for vacation or other activities. I think they had a pretty good way of dividing up the power. Neither my mom nor my dad were overpowering at all when I was growing up. They both respected each other's opinions and tried their best to decide things together. I hope that when I have a family, my husband and I will be able to share the power like my parents did.
