Families: Family and Long Time
Families 100 years ago:
There were more marriages and less divorces. People got married earlier. They had more children. The husband was the bread-winner and the wife stayed at home to look after the children and do the housework. It follows that very few women had a job. A long time ago several generations lived together under the same roof: the grand-parents, the parents, the children and sometimes nor yet the grand-grand-parents.
Families today:
There are less marriages and more divorces. There are a lot of one-parents families and there are less children in a family. The people get married later. The couples often live together without getting married, that calls cohabitation. The woman also have a job and go out to work. The husband and the wife share the housework and look after the children together.

Advantages: You have privacy, you can do what you want. You don't have to share things with your brothers and sisters. You don't have to adapt to anybody. The parents have more time, energy and even money for you.
Disadvantages: You don't always have someone to talk to or play with, you often can feel lonely. You are alone to do the housework and the homework. You can become more selfish, intolerant, spoilt and willful.
Contrarily growing up in a big family is a bit different.
