Types of Families

Most societies consider families as the basic social unit. However, a family can be
defined as a combination of two or more people who are either related by blood or those who
live together and help each other as well as taking care of others. Therefore a family is not
necessarily made of people who are related by blood, but it is made up of people who care for
each other and who exercise care and compassion towards each other. One of the major types of
families is the nuclear family, which is made up of parents and their biological parents. The other
type of family is the single parent family, which is made up of a singles parent and his or her
children (Jinying & Huijing, 2019). The multigenerational family is the other type of family
which is made up of parents, grandparents and children all from different generations. A
cohabitating family is the other type of family which is formed of people who live together but
don’t share blood connections. Next, we have gay and lesbian families which are made up of
either gays or lesbians. Lastly, we have grandparent-headed families who are headed by
grandparents where parents are absent...
