My Family Roles

Thinking about how every person has a role in the family, i was trying to piece together where all my family members fit it. I am the youngest with two older sisters and then I have my mom and dad. My parents are both very caring and supportive when it comes us kids. My mom is the loudmouth who always has to have her way, it runs with all the females in the family so they tend to not get along all the time. My dad is the quiet type, intelligent type who always has a grip on reality and is always willing to help out any of us. However they are very realistic with situations that come up with us and treat us like adults, for better or for worse. Over the summer I had an accident at a concert by getting trapped in a mosh pit and losing my front tooth and almost breaking my knee. When I was able to get a hold of them, they were just having dinner with my sisters and said they would meet me at the hospital and were worried sick about me. However, I came to find out from my sisters that after they got the call and were on their way to the hospital, they preceeded to call me a "idiot" according to my sisters and cursed my name for about half an hour. Their caring and parental ideals turned off and they viewed me not as their son, but as a dumb college kid. I learned a lot after that incident. I learned that I'm at that point in life where my mistakes aren't just going to be forgiven and forgotten. It helped me to realize that I am not an adult to them and not just their son. I really feel it helped me get a better sense for my family. I learned a lot about my parents and how they are going to react to us kids as we are finishing up college and going out on our own. I also learned more about my sisters, as they told me they defended me the whole ride there explaining how mosh pits are out of control and I didn't intent to be in it, and I learned that they are going to defend me throughout my entire life, even though we argue and bicker quite a bit.
