My family

My family is considered a nuclear family, even though I'm the only child living at home. It is a patriarchy because my dad makes the final decisions on things. But he respects my mom and therefore discusses things with her most of the time. Sometimes though, they make decisions individually if it needs an answer pronto. So there's sometimes a power shift. My dad's fam all lives in California so we are not a patrilocality family. We're really not matrilocality either because my mom's family is spread out and we only live close to her great aunt.
