In most country, there are groups of people living together in a house. They are called family, where there are grandparents, parents and children living in one house. There are two types of family, which is nuclear and extended family. The nuclear family is where there are parents and children living together, while extended family is including grandparents, aunts and uncles. There are benefits of living in a nuclear and extended family.
The benefits of living in a nuclear family are sharing responsibility. This is when both parents allow for balanced roles for nurturing their children. It can give times for one parent to rest, while the other looking after the children. As for the children, they develop responsibilities from their parents in gender and age orders, for example the older brother protect his younger siblings.
In addition, children living in a nuclear family gain moral coding. It was when they develop good sense with their mother and father of all the acceptable and unacceptable behaviours. From all the positive actions that their parents showed at home, makes them aware of other’s demand, for example helping people in need. This is for their needs to gain positive feedbacks and image from their living community.
On the other hand, living with extended family provides wider relationship with all the members. Grandparents can enjoy happy time by sharing experiences with their grandchildren and also shares each other hobbies. A mother and father can play their role by looking after their own parents. This is to show their love and give attentions towards their elderly parents.Besides that, extended family can complete each other’s lack of certain skills. As we know that everyone is not perfect in everything. So there is a need for each member of family to help and complete each other’s need. As for example, when the children are sulking with their parents, when they cannot have what they want. The grandparents can help the parents by persuade their grandchildren to do some fun activities such as goes fishing.
