A family system is a biological setup involving blood relations. My family system is nuclear comprising of my father, mother, brother, and two elder sisters. We maintain a healthy family relationship by respecting each member and maintaining a set pattern of roles and behaviors and this helps us avoid minor family issues.
My family is subdivided by gender into two: boys and girls. Each subdivision has its formal and informal roles. Each family member is required to abide by the set family boundaries. Criteria for subgrouping are functions and the skills that each member possesses.

The boundaries are; time to leave the house, time to be back, completion of individual chores and leisure time. Everyone below 18 years is expected to leave the house without permission. During the holiday, everyone is required to complete their chores by noon.
Girls have been assigned to clean the house and do laundry while boys are assigned to watering flowers, mowing the lawn, gardening and trimming hedges. Skills are the basis of role allocation. Each member knows their roles clearly, therefore, role conflict is rare.
My mother enforces the boundaries and ensures everyone has complied. She checks all the areas to ensure every chore is attended every day. Non- compliance leads to limited family privileges to the member.
The above skills have been passed down from generations to generation. The skills ensure family system survival and create a favorable growing environment where members live harmoniously. Our family system has instilled positive skills such as reliability, self-discipline, and responsibility to members. I believe concrete family systems translate to a successful family and therefore should be encouraged and maintained.
