This is another strength of the family. They are optimistic and always think about the positive aspects of every situation. The most obvious weakness is frenzy. DM is not home often and CM has to do everything for the family. CM does all the daily chores while still taking care of all her children during weekdays when DM is not home. It's not easy for DM not to be home as often as he is. From time to time, he feels like he is missing out on a lot of things happening in his life. Another weakness is that parenting is mostly left to the mother. This can not only be stressful for both parents, but also for the children. Not getting help from extended family is also a weakness for the M family. They get a lot of help from their nanny and their close friend group, but not having family help with the kids is difficult. When family helps with children, it is not only easier for parents, but also promotes a bond between children and family members.
