The nuclear family is a modern invention. As social innovation, it sucks the Big Badoody. Naturally, it was the gift of wealth and the corporations after the close of WW II. The concept that the nuclear family is the ideal has done a great deal of damage to America and American children.
The best way to raise children is in an extended family: grandparents, parents, children, aunts, uncles and cousins all living together cooperatively.
IMO the idea that we should live in nuclear families is a chief cause of our epidemic of child abuse. You do not know America is suffering from child abuse of epic proportions? You have not been reading my blog. Sometimes I am funny. Sometimes I suffer and yell about it. It is my blog.
Lots of yelling below:
