There are many things to think of when we are talking about different categories of families. As we may all know, there are many family styles in this days.  Now I want to focus on chaotic and well function family. When I think about chaotic family I think about middle class family. I think that chaotic family are ok, but the ways they do things, it does not show that the things are in imperative. Whenever they are planning things, it seems like they are much disorganized. Sometimes people call them “lazy family”. Chaotic family seems to be lack of directive in what they are doing.  Children from in chaotic family most of the time come to school very late than other children.  Some researchers have showed that some of the parents in chaotic family can let other parents abuse the children. Also this type of family is not really care than much about what their family members are saying.

The parents of chaotic family have their ways to talk to their children. Chaotic parents do not tell their children all details about whichever the children may ask to them. I can say that sometime is because they do not want to tell the truth to their children and other time it is because they are trying to make the life easier between them and their children. For example a child may ask his or her parent to get a chocolate, and since the parent knows that they will not be able to give that chocolate to that child, this parent will chose to tell that child how chocolate is really bad to him or her. In this case that child will not ask the chocolate again. By this time they will both ok (parent and child). However, whenever this child will be able to know that the chocolate is not bad to him or her, this child will not trust that parent again. This child will always think that that parent is not telling the truth.

The well function family is the great family. This type of family is very ok in whichever they want to do. Well function family has their ways to discipline their children. The parents from in well function family, they always want to give details to their children in whichever question they might have. Well function family always try to see which time can be the best time to have “Family meeting” in order to have discussion about something of their  family.  The family members in this family are always want to make other family members happy. They work very hard to help each other. This family believes that family relationship requires time to time and they believe that family relationships involve some amounts of give and take.

 There are some similarities between chaotic and well function family.  These two different families can all have or plane to have children. Not matter what, they both have to plan how they will educate their children if they will have them. They can all have “family rules”. There will be relationships between parents and children. All families want to discipline their children even though they may have different point view of how to discipline their children but they will try to do so. They all know who is in their family members. These two types of families believe that children have to have their parents’ supports. In somehow, chaotic and well function family wants to see the successes comes in their family.
