Feedback:
The most familiar family form is the nuclear family: A two-generation unit consisting of a husband, wife, and their immediate children—biological, adopted, or both—living within one household. Outside employment for both partners in a family may necessitate careful structuring of household tasks. In the commuter family, both adults are usually professionals. The extended family consists of the nuclear family and other related people, such as grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins.
