a). Type of family: Nuclear b). Life cycle: Family with Young children
What problems does this phase in the life cycle raise for them?
a.1. In this phase, since the children’s schooling will start,the couple’s stable source
of income is an important aspect which should be dealt with.
a.2. In this phase, 2 of the children (Claudine and Carl Vincent) left their home.
Claudine started living with her paternal grandparents while Carl Vincent stayed
with his maternal grandfather. This event led to a conflict between the couple
(Alberto Jr. and Sheryl) and their parents.
Does the family feel these problems were dealt with satisfactorily?
Yes, since the family also receives financial assistance from their parents (e.g.
Alberto Jr., the head of the family helps in managing their family business). Also,
Alberto Jr. works as a Baranggay Tanod in San Martin I which gives additional
support. This however, are sometimes not enough to fully sustain their needs
because only the head is working. The housewife isn’t allowed to work due to
personal reasons.
The 2 children which were separated lives closeby so they can easily visit their
family.
c). What does each member expect from their parent/s or head of the family or spouse?
Alberto Jr. and Sheryl expect to be financially stable in the future. They also expect
to maintain the good relationship that they currently have.
Sheryl expects Alberto Jr. to allow her to work someday even if she has to go
abroad. Also, she expects her husband to stop smoking and drinking alcoholic beverages.
The children expect continued love and moral support from their parents.
e). Are these expectations realistic? If yes, how can these be achieved? If no, why not?
Yes, these expectations are realistic. To fulfill the expectations of Sheryl and
Alberto Jr. from their children, they should coninue to rear their children properly and
guide them. To carry out their expectations from each other, they must have an open
communication at all times and should grab the good opportunities that come for them to
help each other especially those which are work-related.
f). Are these expectations met? If no, what are the possible hindrances?
No, these expectations were not met. Among the possible hindrances are: lack of
finances of the couple and inability of Alberto Jr. to allow Sheryl to work.
3. Family Lifeline. Major significant life events (positive and negative; successes and
losses) that had impact on the family. Indicate year of occurrence.
In the future, what is the family’s primary (most important) goal? Name two (2) other priorities.
The primary goal of the family is for the children to finish their studies and to have a
better life (become richer)
Do all the members work together toward these goals/desires? How? If not, what seems to be the
hindrance for working together? Who is the main person responsible for these goals?
Right now, since the children are still very young to understand the major issues/problems
which their family faces, only the parents are able to work together though Sheryl , the
housewife is not allowed to work. She still tries to help out in the family business of Alberto Jr.
(selling handicraft products). Nevertheless, their efforts are sometimes not enough to provide
completely for the needs of each member of their family as they are still financially lacking.
Alberto Jr., the head of the family, is the main person responsible for these goals.
