I am really into my class that I am taking at BYU-I, It is amazing how there are so many things that contribute to the family that I never realize are apart of it. This week we talked about how the family has different relationships and different boundaries that they perceive about themselves. We related the boundaries to fences, there needs to be a balance between how open and closed off you are. Some families have relationships that have a cinder block wall, that means it is a solid line that shows to other people that they are private and not friendly or open to other people. Another situation would be if there were no boundaries, It is too open to the outside and have no protection. People don't understand that there should be some privacy. The perfect in between is having a white picket fence. It shows to other people that there is a boundary and keeping things to the family, but it also shows there isn't a cut off of friendliness because of the spaces. I think we need to make sure our families have a good boundary around us.
