	Digital History
		Far from signaling the family's imminent demise or an erosion of commitment to children, recent changes in family life are only the latest in a series of disjunctive transformations in family roles, functions, and dynamics that have occurred over the past three centuries.
		By the mid-nineteenth century, a new emphasis on family privacy could be seen in the expulsion of apprentices from the middle-class home, the increasing separation of servants from the family, and the rise of the family vacation had appeared as well as such family-oriented celebrations as the birthday party and decorating the Christmas tree.
		As families became less subject to communal oversight, as traditional assumptions about patriarchal authority were challenged, and as an expanding market economy produced new kinds of stresses, the family could become an arena of explosive tension, conflict, and violence.

	Does the American Family Have a History? Family Images and Realities \| Steven Mintz \| OAH Magazine of History
		Contributing to this new family formation were the establishment of the first seniority systems, compulsory school attendance laws, and increased real wages as a result of World War I. The New Deal further solidified the male breadwinner family by prohibiting child labor, expanding worker’s compensation, and targeting job programs at male workers.
		Unlike the nineteenth-century family, which took in boarders, lodgers, and aging or unmarried relatives, the companionate family was envisioned as a more isolated and more important unit, the primary focus of emotional life.
		The democratization of the family ideal reflected social and economic circumstances that are unlikely to be duplicated: a reaction against the hardships of the depression and the upheavals of World War II; the affordability of single-family track homes in the booming suburbs; and rapidly rising real incomes.

	The American Family
		Americans are familiar with the image of the “traditional family”: a married mother and father raising a couple of children, all living together happily under a single roof.
		While there are statistics showing that the traditional family may lead to happier and healthier children, it is more important for a child to be raised by a loving, involved adult than to be part of a ‘traditional family’.
		The traditional family is usually defined as legally married male and female raising children under the age of eighteen[1].

	90.05.06: The American Family in Literature
		Cultural differences, the age at which a family begins, single-parent families, the break-up of a family, and the subsequent re-forming of a new family are some of the many influences that come to mind.
		While the family is undeniably a traditional one, students can understand why each member is such an important cog, and then relate principles of the fictional family to their own, even if their family may be far from traditional.
		Today’s family is more likely to have a mother and father who contribute equally to the financial security of the household, and children whose primary contribution would be the household duties that a mother would have traditionally done.

	The American Family - Author Stephanie Coontz
		Partly it's because we compare the complex and diverse families of the 1900s with the seemingly more standard-issue ones of the 1950s, a unique decade when every long-term trend of the 20th century was temporarily reversed.
		In the 1920s, for the first time a bare majority of American children grew up in families where the husband provided all the income, the wife stayed home full-time, and they and their siblings went to school instead of work.
		What's new is not that women make half their families' living, but that for the first time they have substantial control over their own income, along with the social freedom to remain single or to leave an unsatisfactory marriage.

	The American Family
		The American family has undergone a massive transformation from the once normal ideal of mom, dad, two kids and a couple of household pets.
		The American family structure has been perhaps the most greatly affected by divorce; and the subsequent single-parent and blended families that result from remarriage or the lack of it are two of the fastest growing family types in America.
		In addition to the growth of these other non-traditional families, the choice of remaining unmarried is growing in popularity, possibly due to a somewhat decreased social stigma surrounding it.

		Similarly, in families where the mother is employed, the choice as to what type of day-care is most appropriate should be made by the family, and not by government bureaucrats.

		Family researcher Judith Wallerstein, co-author of The Unexpected Legacy of Divorce: a 25 Year Landmark Study, found that the effects of family breakdown stay with children long after their childhoods, as they are less likely to marry, have successful marriages, and have children than adults who grew up in intact families.

	The American Family — Reference Shelf — Volume 75, Number 2
		While 50 years ago the nuclear family— mother, father, and 2.3 children—might have been held up as the norm, such a model falls far short of describing the multitude of variations on the family in the United States today.
		Americans continue to insist on the importance of the family unit, even though the nation’s plurality has ensured that there are as many definitions of "family" as there are ethnic groups in the United States.
		The first section of this book, "The Changing Family," chronicles the ways in which families in the United States have altered since the nuclear family was considered the norm.

		Marriage and family scholar, Stephanie Coontz, believes that the seventeenth century American family was traditional, when compared with European families of earlier centuries.
		Santorum's ignorance of the full history of the American family also serves his demagogy when he contrasts today's "toxic combination of the village elders' war on the traditional family and radical feminism's misogynistic crusade to make working outside the home the only marker of social value and self-respect," [p.
