My ideal family

Statistics from the last years doubtlessly shows us, that we are in a time of familiar change. The big families are disappearing and the number of traditional families is decreasing. When we have a look at the permanently growing number of childless couples or couples with only one child, we see that the definition of the traditional family is in change. But is the traditional family always an ideal family?
In the following text I will talk about my opinion of an ideal family and I will have a look at the importance of families in society.

It’s not that easy to define the setup of an ideal family. According to statistics such a family would consist of mother, father and 2,1 children, one son and one daughter. If you ask me, families with four children is much better than the traditional. But not all of them are good. For example, if there are four daughters in a family the father is in minority. There should always be a balance between male and female family members. The reason, why a bigger family is better is simple. Children need bothers or sisters to play with, especially in younger age. It’s really important that they somebody to talk to beside their parents. Like in a traditional family the father has a full-time job whereas the mother is at home and cares for the children. When these are older the mother might has a part-time job.
Strong families are also very important for society. People have it easier in life if they have a family which helps you in every case and on which you can trust. Most of the criminal people come from “problem families” with bad solidarity, poor communication and often even violence. Children out of such families will most likely have no graduation, no job and if they will have their own family once they will also turn into bad parents. These facts prove the importance of family, not only in this aspect but also in every aspect in life.

To conclude, the ideas of the ideal family are divided. Nobody knows which type of family is the best and most ideal. But what we know is that more people do not want to have a family. Maybe it is just because in these days society career is much more important and that let’s people simple no time for a family.
