1. Describe 5 different types of families.
A family is a group of people living in a household together either by reason of marriage, blood relation or adoption. Families are the reason for creating today’s society. This is because in a family, people are created and brought into the world, cared for, and given the correct tools to survive in life.
There are five different types of families, which are as follows:
1. Nuclear Family: The nuclear family is a family that consists of a mother, father, and their child/children. In most cases, the parents in a nuclear family are married. An alternative name for a nuclear family is an elementary family.
2. Extended Family: The extended family expands wider than the nuclear family. This is because it consists of grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins living either nearby or in the same household.
3. Single Parent: A single parent is when a parent lives without their spouse, leaving them with most of the responsibilities to raise the child/children on their own. A single parent is usually considered the primary person who takes care of the child. In some cases due to divorces or separation, the child lives with their primary parent, but is given the privileges of visiting the residence of their noncustodial parent, meaning the parent who does not have complete custody over their child. In this case, the noncustodial parent is most likely to be the father of the child. Single parenting has been caused by many reasons in today’s society, which include
Death of a partner
Child abuse
Neglect
Divorce
Adoption, when the adoptive parent does not have a partner/spouse
4. Blended Family: A blended family or sometimes called a “step family” is a relationship when both spouses have been married before and have remarried again, which sometimes lead to a child being brought into the marriage from the past relationship.
5. Foster Family: Foster means to help someone grow and develop. A foster family is two adults
