Each of us has a perceived role perception that is like an actual job description. That is, our closest relationships can be seen as analogous to jobs that require certain behaviors. Similarly, we have expectations of our partners and/or family members. The purpose of the following article is to identify some of the most frequently reoccurring ways you and your partner and/or other family members interact within such relationships. The article begins with self-reflection questions and an opportunity to identify your priorities in your job as a partner or parent. The Full Resource Parenting Questionnaire (FRPQ) follows. Metaphors representing the main themes of the instrument will then be introduced. Based on these themes, you will first predict your expected scores, then you will tally, profile, and write your own reactions to the scores. A more extensive theoretical discussion follows. The article includes a series of self-reflection questions. A concluding next-step action plan is suggested to help you apply the concepts for a heightened and more conscious full resource approach to your perceived job description with your partner and/or current family relationships.
