Abstract
The paper concentrates on an exploration of power relations within families. The paper discusses parental power in relation to legitimacy, household resources and children¡¯s anticipated reactions of adult discipline. The nature of sibling power is highlighted before exploring the reciprocal expectations of sibling and child-parent interactions. The paper ends by suggesting that the generationing of power relations can lead to differing degrees of backstage and frontstage performances within the home.
