Could someone please give me an example for this? I am very confused.

Write down on example each for mutualism, commensalism, and parasitism from your own household. Your examples must represent relationships within your family unit. (ie: you and your parents, you and a sibling etc).

Basically mutualism, commensalism, and parasitism are forms of symbiosis. (the way animals interact with each other, usually referring to eating)

i don't think this can be associated with households, but an example might be:

mutualism - you need a MP3 player from your sister, but she needs you to do the dishes, etc...
commensalism- idk, maybe your grandma gives you free advice?
parasitism- you take money from your parents-lol.
