more class overlap

So I was up until 6 this morning writing a paper for another class so I apologize if none of what I'm about to say makes sense or if there isn't much intellectual material in what I'm about to say.

I've recently had another experience with material in my classes overlapping, particularly this class and my Intro. to Women and Gender class. This week we have been talking about families, their structure and function and how things are different and most of the time, more difficult, for families with homosexual parents. And on Friday we will be talking about a "marriage/partnership contract" that we all have to fill out. It is basically asking questions of you and your partner (or in my case my idea partner since I do not have a boyfriend) about power and gendered duties in a relationship. The questions pertain to the division of household labor, finances, family size, religion, last name, divorce and then a final assessment of the relationship. It will be quite interesting to discuss in class on Friday and for me to go through and answer the questions as to what the division of such tasks and the answers to decisoins with my "ideal spouse" will be. I think it will be good for me because I have my standards but some of these things are not things I have thought about, so I am sure that my list of "standards" will grow as I do this exercise.

I hope that all pertains to Family Science in some way or another. I am just surprised that I stayed awake long enough to type all of this!
