TEXT
THE AMERICAN FAMILY
Most American families consist of a mother, a father, and three or four children liv-ing at home. There may be relatives - grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and in-laws in the same community, but American families usually maintain separate households (1). This familial structure is known as the "nuclear family." It is unusual for members of the family other than the husband, wife, and children to live together. Occasionally an aging grand-parent may live with the family, but this arrangement is usually not considered desirable.
Although the nuclear family unit is economically independent of the rest of the family (2), members of the whole family group often maintain close kinship ties. Visit-ing between parents and their married children and between married sisters and brothers is fre-quent when they live close to each other. If they live in different communities, they keep in touch by writing letters and by telephone (3).
In the American family the husband and wife usually share important decision making. When the children are old enough, they participate as well (4). Foreign observers are fre-quently amazed by the permissiveness of American parents. The old rule that "children should be seen and not heard" is rarely followed,' and children are often allowed to do what they wish without strict parental control.
The father seldom expects his children to obey him without question, and children are encouraged to be independent at an early age. Some people believe that American parents carry this freedom too far. Young people are expected to break away from their parental families by the time they have reached their late teens or early twenties. Indeed, not to do so is often regard-ed as a failure, a kind of weak dependence.
