Equity
I found that maintaining equity in family relationships was the most interesting to me this week. A lot of families do not have equality among all of the family members. Equity should be maintained in ways that everyone in the family gets treated equally. Usually the decision maker is either one or both of the parents. In my family my dad use to be the decision maker for a little but once we got to our teen age we did whatever. (not bad or illegal things but we just planned and decided on our own) My family is really really stubborn and we all sometimes make mistakes but some decisions but who doesn't. The social exchange theory was quite interesting. Wood says "as long as your rewards outweigh your costs, the net outcome of the relationship is positive, so you are satisfied".Having a happy family is very important and its healthy in life.

Hi, I think your blog about equity is quite interesting. For example, in my family, ever since we were little girls, my mom has always been the one to make all the decisions around the house; from buying little to big things, or just anything in general. So our mom was kind of like the bad person in the family until this day. My dad on the other hand is a mellow person, doesn’t say much, and doesn’t have many comments. But when he does make a comment, you will know it is a big deal or a very serious issue.
