The concept of the “nuclear family” which is commonly known for two parents: A father, a mother and one or more children is a structure which in my option should be discontinued- if that makes sense. This idea of what it is to be a family has been implemented for centuries, and this continues to have an affect on todays society. This really got me thinking. Who decided that this is what a family is composed of? Cause if were being real im pretty sure there’s a big percentage of people who did not live like this- mom and dad etc. Another thing is the whole idea of family which people think can only be related to you. This is not true. Family are the people who love and care for you, who are there in times of need.. which makes me think about how people have the idea of the “nuclear family” only being a mom and dad. I know people who were raised in single households. Also people who were raised with same sex parents. The limits that exist like being raised by mom and dad should not matter when it comes to raising children, and I don’t believe it will have an effect as people think it would on a child’s development. The interventions of the LGBT+ community can offer many children who aren’t fortunate to grow up in a “nuclear family”. Personally if a family consisting of whoever mom and mom dad and dad or mom and dad can provide a stable, loving and caring environment for their family then that’s all that is important, all the other stuff people make an issue just creates unnecessary boundaries for society and peoples lives.
