<h2> Pt 1.</h2>

Sharing an apartment with a family member (or two) can be both a relief and a cause of stress. In the end, your experience living with a family roommate depends largely on the character of that family member and you. If you get along with the family member, you may find living with him or her much more comfortable than living with a stranger or even a friend. When you know and trust a family member who lives with you, you can be yourself around your roommate and you probably won’t have to worry about stolen items or finding out your roommate is a different person to live with than he or she is to hang out with. If you’re living with a sibling, a cousin or even a parent, it’s easy to fall into the habit of falling behind in your payments. After all, “families stick together,” so some irresponsible apartment dwellers might believe their family roommate can cover a “month or two” of rent payment, which turns into a few months more. Too afraid to cause family drama, the responsible roommate let him or herself be taken advantage of.

<h2>Pt 2.</h2>

Strong and positive family relationships are enjoyable for their own sake – it just feels good to be part of a warm and loving family.

But positive family relationships are important for lots of other reasons too.  They:

  • help children feel secure and loved, which gives them confidence to explore their world, try new things and learn
  • make it easier for your family to solve problems, resolve conflict and respect differences of opinion
  • give children the skills they need to build healthy relationships of their own.

I will put the rest in the comments since there is a typing limit, but I hope this helps and I always appreciate Brainliest! ;)

DochEvi [55]

Unfortunately, we all knew about Steve Jobs disease in 2011. However, knowing this fact, his words and the whole life meaning of one of the biggest's world brains, had extra significance for all people.

Besides, the fact that Jobs lost his personal battle against cancer with true stoicism and real determination makes him human, shows the vulnerability of someone extremely talented. Steve Jobs's biggest talent, and the impact, was his unlimited hope to life and the endeless progression of human knowlegde embodied by him.
