Family and Communication

This week in class we talked about how families communicate. That was interesting to me because I consider my family as pretty hectic. Our communication mainly consists of a lot of emails with strong words, dirty looks, and a whole lot of "he said, she said". I learned in class that that is an actually way of communicating. And maybe it's not all that bad! We all tend to say mean, thoughtless things when we're angry, so maybe emailing is better for us. Dirty looks show us that we need to give each other space and time to cool down.  And as for the "he said, she said", well... I actually can't think of anything good about that one! I guess no family can be perfect! 

We may be dysfunctional when it comes to a number of things. But the fact that we communicate, shows how much we all love and care about each other!
