Conflict Between the Characters

There is often conflict between the main characters. Most of the time it is due to their poor living conditions. Other times it is due to the many problems that some of the characters possess. For example:

Rex's Drinking problem: Rex has a serious drinking problem that sometimes causes conflict with his children and him. Rex at one point steals the families food money so that he can drink.

Rose Mary's Art: Rose Mary is often buying art supplies for herself when she should be spending that money on food. Or she has a teaching degree but refuses to work because it takes away from her dream of being an artist.

The children's conflicts usually stem from the faults of their parents but they are almost always working as a team.
