When a new member is born into a family, that family shouldn't just think of it as a new member. That family has become a new entity. This means the family needs to reorganize. They need to reorganize each members role and make sure those roles meet everyone's needs.
We all have or have had rules in our family growing up. What were these rules? How did we know they were rules? Were they written down or said out loud, or were they never really stated? There are unstated rules almost every family has. These could be things such as:
-seating arrangements at the dinner table
-who controls the volume while watching tv or a movie
These unstated rules can be good or sometimes they can be bad. We should look at our lives and find these unstated rules and make sure they are improving everyone.
