My Experience With My Family - 892 Words

Learning about my heritage and my family has always fascinated me, and doing this cultural genogram was an awesome experience to learn more about my family. To complete this project I interview my mom who is the genealogist for both sides of my family. My nuclear family is small and predominately female, and it consists of my dad, Edward-age 65, my mom, Wendy-age 57, my older sister, Julie-age 23, and myself-age 19. Right now my parents have been married for 30 years and have entered the are empty nest stage since I dorm at college, and my sister lives in another town. More recently, in our family, my sister delivered a healthy baby boy in august with no prenatal complications; making my parents grandparents and myself an aunt. Additionally, unlike most families, my parents had switched roles while I was growing up. My dad has been disabled for about 24 years and was retired by the time both of my sister and I were born, so he became a stay home dad and took on the more domestic role s, while my mom supported the family financially. Unfortunately many families like ours were faced with economic troubles when we went into the recession a few years back. In 2010, my mom lost her job and now she just has a temporary job. On the bright side, my family recently saw both of their daughters graduated high school and complete their Girl Scout Gold Award. After high school my sister went to community college, and I choose to go Felician College.
