My Family

I would describe my family as a nuclear family. I think my family has bilocality characteristics, because we don't live near either my dad's or mom's family. Both of their families live in Park Ridge, about the same distance away from us. Also, neolocality applies to my family because we live apart from both sides. My family is also egalitarian because my parents share most of the authority. Sometimes it seems like patriarchal, and my father holds more authority, but he's just a little bit more strict. My parents make decisions together and also talk about things before they give my siblings and me an answer.
