Family Introduction

This is Winnie.

What is a family?

A family is a group of people related by blood,  marriage, or even a very significant bond.  Families provide emotional care, companionship, and support to each other.  They often share responsibilities, interests, time, values, memories, and traditions.  They enjoy the good moments and stick together through the tough times always seeing things through to the finish.

Family Types

My family is in the nuclear family type because my husband and I are still married to each other and both of our children belong to both of us.

We are also in the extended family type because we have family that is our aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents.  

Family Lifecycle Stage

The family lifecycle we are in is the family with teenagers stage because our oldest child still lives at home and she is 20.  We have not reached the launching stage since she has not moved out to live independently.  

A Family Function we do is RECREATION!

We like to do fun activities together.  When on vacations, we enjoy riding ATVs, white-water rafting, and zip-lining.  

Another Family Function we do is 

LOVE AND SUPPORT.

We always attend family events to show our support and we tell each other we love each other.  We spend quality time with each other since that is a love language we all speak.

We also do the family function 

PROVIDING BASIC NEEDS.

We make sure everyone in the family has all their needs met, like healthy food, fresh water, a clean, warm home, and appropriate clothing. 

We also do the family function PROTECTION.

We make sure the house and cars are locked at night, we have Life 360 so we can find everyone if needed, and lock up guns.

We  have done the family function PROCREATION.

We have done the procreation family function because our family has had children.
