12、is is a two-generation family, the father and the mother and their own children. Most couples wanted to have four children, two boys, two girls.Some nuclear families, however, may add one or more grandparents to come to live with them, that is three generations.

This is becoming more common in the big cities where a grandmother will raise her daughters children while the daughter goe
17、s elsewhere to work.One other new kind of family is becoming increasingly more common. A single parent with one or more children will marry again. Perhaps the other parent is also a single parent.
