Every family has each member fall into a specific archetype. There’s the strong disciplinarian parent who rules the house with an iron (but measured) fist. They, of course, have their natural foil in the sweet “Good Cop” who nurtures, sometimes spoils but is always encouraging and positive. Amongst the children, you’ll have the lonely middle child and all of their anxiousness and desire for attention, the black sheep, who walks their own path in life to a tee, and the star overachiever–the apple of everyone’s eye.
