Explain why some critics blame dissatisfaction and decreased marital happiness on the nuclear family

What will be an ideal response?


Critics suggest that the idea that expecting one father and one mother to give the child total parenting is unrealistic. The nuclear family is too isolated from friends and extended family who could occasionally serve as substitute parents. They suggest that broader parenting is needed where child care can be traded, volunteer or business-supplied child care is available, and the extended family is involved in child rearing.
