Now listen to part of a lecture on this topic in a sociology class.
Some generalizations about the family are pure myth. For example, families today are not more rootless than they used to be. In fact, a century ago, families moved around quite a bit. Around 1900, in most large and small cities, more than 50 percent of the residents—and often up to 75 percent—were no longer there ten years later. So it’s just not true that families stayed in one place for generations. Families have always relocated.
Another myth is that nuclear families lack connections with their extended families. In truth, more children than ever before have a grandparent who is still living, and the evidence suggests that ties between grandparents and grandchildren have become stronger. For example, when researchers returned to a town that had been studied sixty years earlier, they found that most of the residents maintained closer kinship networks than had been the case earlier. More people knew their grandparents and reported visiting them than had been the case before.
The bonds between parents and children have not weakened. In fact, a majority of adults today say they see one of their parents at least once a week. Sixty-eight percent say they talk on the telephone with a parent once a week. Furthermore, almost 90 percent of adults describe their relationship with their mother as close, and 78 percent say their relationship with their grandparents is close. Finally, despite all the disruption from divorce, most children today—96 percent—live with at least one of their parents. This is a big difference from a century ago, when ten percent of the children didn’t live with either parent, usually because the parents had died.
