Family

My family that I live with would be a nuclear family. I live with my mom, dad, and brother, Mark. I would say my family is matriarchal because my mom mostly runs the household. My dad does play a part but I would say she dictates more. They understand that parenting is important for both the husband and wife to participate in. While we do live closer to my dad's family than my mom's, I would still say my family practices neolocality because we did not have to live somewhere in particular. My parents have a dual-earner marriage and while my mom brings in most of the money, my dad does contribute.
