Hi, What exactly is a ‘family’? The family is the basic building block of societies across the globe. But what exactly is meant by the word? One might think the answer was obvious – a husband and wife or a mum, a dad and their kids – but these definitions would not cover all the different types of family which exist. There are nuclear families, extended families, one-parent families and families with adopted children. Nuclear families are those which have a mother, a father and their children (biological or adopted). The phrase ‘extended family’ describes a larger network of relatives - grandparents, great-grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins. In some cultures is it usual to find extended families living together under one roof whereas in other cultures the nuclear family household is the norm. One-parent families are those where one of the parents is no longer part of the family unit, possibly due to death or divorce, leaving the remaining parent with the unenviable task of bringing up the children and trying to earn a living at the same time.
