This kinda reminds me of a book I read as a kid. I cannot remember what it was called, but the main character was also a kid.

Anyway, the premise is that the main character thinks their family is really weird, for a number of odd-but-wholesome reasons, the most prominent of which was the nightly "screaming sessions". According to the main character, they would all get together at a certain time during the evening and just scream to relieve frustration and whatnot.

Not sure where I was going with this, but it always stuck with me how the parents just wanted the best for their kids.

If anyone recognizes this and knows the book, let me know...
