Originally posted by SueEllen View PostYou actually want extended families so when there is illness, disability, death or whatever people take up the challenge rather than expecting the state to look after their parent or other relation. In encouraging that you also get people looking after their neighbours.
Some of the kids who end up in foster care do so because there is no relation, neighbour or family friend to look after them due to their parent being ill or dead. Others you don't tend to hear about have escaped it simply because they have got this.
I realize that not everyone has a family, or a capable one. But all people had 2 parents, and the state should focus more on promoting and encouraging the nuclear (and thereby the extended) family. Unfortunately, the Left spent 40 years ('65 to about '05) denigrating the family, mistaking it for an "oppressive" or "patriarchal" structure, when in fact it is key to the human condition and is the solution to many social problems.Comment

The default expectation that many parents will both work is an indicator of the way society regards the nuclear family.Comment
