The nuclear family was the first step in a great decline

its the same as with warfare, the true war cost peak 50 years after the war or so

ah pretty much everyone is

Building strong, large familial units is the cornerstone to the future though

The English have the highest concentration of traditional families in Europe.

So at least we can work based on that

so you can estimate whats in store for usa

the thing is, i was half joking before, but the coldness has probably always been there

people did not move as far away from each other back in the day

a map of single motherhood in the world would be interesting right now

or get as disconnected due to limited economic opportunity

part of it was the colonial factor

in North America we had a large land area to colonize

so they stayed together more out of necessity and because it was easier

north west of france eh,make sense

that in part drove the nuclear family

a new generation would move west and settle

when it became possible to separate geographically and economically, the familial bonds that were previously necessitated broke apart

people had to live closer together

they needed each other

and it was harder to move

and less reason to move because less free economy and less opportunity

and harder transportation

they didn't live together

hmm

your link doesn't show that they lived in the same house

in fact, it shows they did not

if you read it

what research is this even based on

People in the colonial territories were faced with mass hostility from foreign peoples at every turn in the form of the natives and also suffered severe resource and labour scarcities which most likely would have emphasised the importance of the extended family unit, rather than diminished it

@Nerthulas

the point is, what do you think changed?

clearly the material circumstances

you're not understanding what I'm saying

do you think they became genetically less family oriented?

you wouldn't move with your father to the west

what are you trying to say?

absolute nuclear family never was a thing historically

Yes I am, I just think you overestimate the frequency of it's happening

you would go with your wife, and children if you had them

peopel all work on a farm
