THE AMERICAN FAMILY

Most American families consist of a mother, a father, and three or four children living at home. There may be relatives — grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and in-laws in the same community, but American families usually maintain separate households. This familial structure is known as the (nuclear family». It is unusual for members of the family other than the husband, wife, and children to live together. Occasionally an aging grandparent may live with the family, but this arrangement is usually not considered desirable.

Although the nuclear family unit it economically independent of the rest of the family, members of the whole family group often maintain close kinship ties. Visiting between parents and their married children and between married sisters and brothers is frequent when they close to each other. If they live in different communities, they keep in touch by writing letters and by telephone.

In the American family the husband and wife usually share important decision making. When the children are old enough, they participate as well. Foreign observers are frequently amazed by the permissiveness of American parents. The old rule that «children should be seen and not heard is rarely followed and children are often allowed to do what they wish without strict parental control.

The father seldom expects his children to obey him without question and children are encouraged to be independent at an early age. Some people believe that American parents carry this freedom too far. Young people are expected to break away from their parental families by the time they have reached their late teens or early twenties. Indeed, not to do so is often regarded as a failure, a kind of weak dependence.

АМЕРИКАНСКАЯ СЕМЬЯ

Большинство американских семей состоят из матери, отца и трех или четырех детей, живущих дома. В одной семье могут жить родственники — бабушка с дедушкой, тети, дяди, двоюродные братья и родственники, но в американских семьях обычно они ведут отдельные хозяйства. Эта семейная структура известна как нуклеарная семья. Члены семьи, за исключением мужа, жены и детей, не могут жить вместе. Иногда пожилой дедушка или бабушка могут жить с семьей, но такое устройство обычно не желательно.

Хотя нуклеарная семья экономически независима от остальной части семьи, члены всей семейной группы часто поддерживают тесные родственные связи. Посещение родителей их женатыми детьми, а также женатыми сестрами и братьями друг друга встречается часто, когда они живут рядом друг с другом. Если они живут в далеко друг от друга, то они поддерживают связь посредством написания писем и по телефону.

В американской семье муж и жена обычно принимают важные решения. Когда дети становятся достаточно взрослыми, они тоже участвуют в принятии решений. Зарубежные наблюдатели часто поражаются вседозволенности американских родителей. Старое правило, согласно которому «детей следует видеть, а не слышать, редко соблюдается, и детям часто разрешается делать то, что они хотят, без строгого родительского контроля.

Отец редко ожидает, что его дети повинуются ему, и детей поощряют быть независимыми в раннем возрасте. Некоторые люди считают, что американские родители слишком далеко зашли в этой свободе. Ожидается, что молодые люди уходят из семьи к тому моменту, когда им исполнится двадцать лет. Действительно, не делать этого часто считают неудачей, своего рода слабой зависимостью.
