What were your parents like? What are they supposed to be like? What makes for a good mother or father?

Henry- I'll stay with you, if that is what you both want.

So you're trying to gauge what a normal family might look like.

Well, usually the father goes to work and earn money to support his wife and child while his wife stays home to take care of the kid. Or at least, that's what most people think of as the "perfect family."

Yes, civilian families often worked on farms or in taverns. Though in my experience the wife and children typically work as well, if they are able.

In my world, the hopes and dreams of the parents are put on the child. The father works to support the household, so the kid's only job is to study hard in hopes of getting into a good enough school so they can get a good job as an adult.

That, or learn the tricks of the trade from their parents, depending on the situation. In some families, even the mother will work if it means being able to pay for her kid to attend an elite school.

Then they are both devoted to their child.

Is there a military in your world? What if the soldiers have children?

Kids might follow in the footsteps of their parents, but it's not necessarily required. I mean, unless they force you to enroll in the National Defense Academy, but that's probably limited to families that are pretty gung-ho about it.

But how do they all act toward one another? I suppose that's what I'm trying to figure out.

Each of them loves another unconditionally. The father might be a little gruff about showing his feelings, and the mother might be a little too doting, and the kid might be a selfish brat at times, but they all love each other and want the best for their family.
