Family is an institution, but why don't we view it as such? And most importantly, why are we not allowed to question it?

For generations, Latin households have been wrapped in a cloak of sacred tradition and duty. This shield protects them from scrutiny. But when you strip away the sentimentality, you find that you're caught in a web of labor, hierarchies, and expectations

Family Inc. looks at the home through this exact lens, pulling back the curtain on the family unit with sheer honesty. Once you start seeing these dynamics for what they are, it becomes impossible to ignore what's right in front of you. The book shows how children are assigned roles early on, often under the guise of helpfulness or duty. One child becomes the default caretaker, and another ends up acting as the family manager, mediator, or even parent to their own parents.

From there, Family Inc. zeroes in on one of the most powerful tools in the Latin household, guilt. Essentials like food, shelter, and education are routinely framed as massive sacrifices that children are expected to repay for the rest of their lives. But when you break it down, are those really gifts or just basic parental responsibilities?

From religious guilt and social expectations to domestic labor and emotional debt, Family Inc. breaks down all the things we're taught to never question.
