Researcher interviewed three family, including three pairs of parent and child, combining hermeneutic phenomenological methodology to conduct research. Results are described as follows: In considering process of growth in instrumental task, chilldren were ordered by their parents in elementary school, becoming capable to realize the situation in family when studying junior high school, and they are able to do more things when high school, and continue to do same tasks after graduating from university. When doing expressive tasks, the process is almost same with instrumental tasks, as the family structure stays unchanged, children would be parentified continuously. The dyadic process shows that children may be involved in different ways. Children would consider the problem in their family, then assess the necessity to help solving problem, closeness and capability will also influence their willing. Parents will also perceive problem in family, assessing necessity and capability, when conclusion is positive, parents will order children to do tasks. Though Children may do tasks without parents perception, most parents admit children's behavior, and even being welcome to their help.
