Family 1 – They skate.  They built a half pipe in their yard.  They skate and are inDUHviduals.  They opened a skate shop.  When the kid what something they get it.  Dad plays video games with the tribe.  The tribe is minors that just show up at the house.  You know that weird old guy down the street with the cool stuff in the basement that all the kids like.  The guy that ends up in jail for pedophilia; that’s how I see him.  The new mom has not eaten a hot dog as an adult; she equates it to eating dog poo.  She had one bite.  The daughter does not understand why she should clean after 20 people were making a mess in the house.  New rule for the week is no skating until chores are done.  The dad is more of a kid then any kid.

Family 2 – They are exceptional.  Because they said so.  They all play piano every day except their birthday.  They celebrate their birthdays on the same day because it’s efficient.  They have homework from mom.  They have essays.  They have chores and piano before school.  The children are not allowed to hang out with friends.  They drink Green water.  It’s water with veggies in it.  The mom likes to control everything including others.  HER WORDS.

They eat healthily raw food.

Family learns that the new mom is into skateboards and the dad worries about them getting in trouble with the law.  The children have a required amount of weeds to pull.   The children are required to do report on news articles from the paper during dinner.  New rule for the week is playing other instruments besides the piano.  The dad just talks over people until people give up.  He wants things done because he said they need to be done.  Not why they need to be done.

Another week with no yelling and each side learned something.
