The 9 marker!! To what extent would sociologists agree that the traditional nuclear family remains the norm for families and households in Britain today? Family3/11/09 Aim: 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.
