Imagine a family in which Mom and Dad both work full-time outside the home. Mom’s employer wants her to take a new position in a distant small town. Mom is tempted because the position represents a promotion with more responsibility and higher pay. However, because the town is so small, Dad wouldn’t be able to get a job comparable to the one he has now, which he likes. Based on the family systems theory shown in Figure 7.1, how might the move affect the couple’s 10-year-old daughter and 4-year-old son?
