To what extent would sociologists agree that the traditional nuclear family
remains the norm for families and households in Britain
today?
Family 3/11/09Aim: To revise for the family section in the exam
Many working class families depend on the extended family. For example, grandparents will often watch the
children whilst the parents are at work. This means that the parents can
continue to work and bring in money and not have to pay extra for child
minding, which they may not be able to afford. This leaves them extra money
for other things, perhaps family holidays. Therefore, it is clear that the
extended family is still important for the working class and so only some
sociologists would agree that the traditional nuclear family remains the
norm.
