The book Fun home written by Alison Bechdel she writes about how she grew up and what she had to deal with while growing up. As she was growing up she could tell that she was different but also that her Dad was different. Her Dad was not like an ordinary Dad, he was intimidating, impatient, not affectionate, and quick to punish. He also was not very manly, but would still do the manly duties like repair the house and mow the lawn but was also into floral patterns and laced curtains. Alison described her family as dysfunctional and she did not enjoy her time at her house. Alison’s Dad always had her and the siblings doing chores instead of having fun and playing around the house. Kids in the neighborhood would always comment on how her house was a mansion and how her parents were so rich but she did not see it like that. She looked at her house like any ordinary house because there was no time to enjoy the size of the house. Alison did not even look at her house as her home. She compared the Family Funeral house, that her Dad worked at as more of a home because she got to enjoy herself with her siblings when her Dad was working. This was extremely weird because at the funeral home people would be coming in to set up a time and date to have a funeral for a loved one. This just shows how truly awful it was being at home for Alison because she enjoyed being at the Funeral House rather than her own house.
