Networks of kinship refers to people that one has a close and strong relationship with, in simple terms, networks of kinship refers to family. In the space of household we have different relationships with different family members. The relationship one might have with their siblings, will not be the same to their parents. This is the kind of kinship that is lineal.

Household is formed by family and the different roles they play in insuring that the home or household is stable. My father as the head of family, he ensure that we are safe at all times, so we mostly relay on him with security. We always know that with him around we are always safe. When we are facing financial break down, we trust him on that as we know that he always try to make a plan so that everything works out for us. Every decision we want to take, we have ask permission from him first. Although there are other things we don not trust him with, like cleaning the house or doing laundry. Even we coming to having conversation, it's unique and different from other family members. For example, when I'm having conversation with my father, I use more formal language than I do with my siblings to show respect. We cannot fix any broken things around the house, so we also trust him on fixing almost anything that is broken and hard labour at home. 

In this household we have a mother, the person that ensures that the home is always filled with warmth. By warmth I mean that, she makes sure that the house is always clean and everyone does not go to sleep without eating. The mother always knows everyone's needs and that makes her the most important person in the household, when we are emotionally drained, she is the right person to go to. She has the kind of support that no one has. Relationship I have with my mother is one of the best, I tell her almost everything about anything because she is a good listener and a good adviser, I always want to be around her space. With her teaches, she ensures that we are always on the right track, so that we could grow with respect and discipline. The mother is more of a bestfriend, she is more to be trusted. She has moral support and she is most trusted on domestic work, the whole family revolves around her.

I also have siblings in this network of kinship. My relationship with my siblings differs from the relationship that I have with anyone else, because we are not just sibling but we are also friends. I know I am safe at the street when I am with them. My conversation I have with then can never be formal like the conversation I have with my parents.

The networks of kinship are formed by our family members. We might have big families, but everyone has a unique relationship with everyone. A good household is maintained by everyone playing their respective roles in the family.
