Jay Dragon's Systems of Relation
https://medium.com/@possumcreek/systems-of-relation-c3b27fc4cc99
"House is a children’s game where kids pretend to be members of a nuclear family and do regular family stuff, such as make dinner, argue over the kids, and repress nascent feelings of gender euphoria. I believe it’s accurate to describe House as existing in relationship to a system just as much as Dungeons & Dragons, but while Dungeons & Dragons is built on a system of mechanics, House (and Warrior Cats, and so many other children’s games) is built on a system of relation.
House doesn’t need a book to frame its system because it’s run on the Nuclear Family itself, a system both complex and omnipresent in the lives of American children, especially those with messy family dynamics at home. Children might debate whether it’s okay for a woman to play the Husband role in a game of House, thus mirroring their own conflict with the oppressive hierarchy of the nuclear family. Some kids might choose to intentionally reject the very premises of the nuclear family within their game of House, but they are still playing within its context. "
