In conclusion, my opinion is that a traditional family is just an ideal or a left over concept of the 1950’s. The 21st century has redefined the family units. Today, children are often raised in single parent homes, by grandparents or by homosexual parents. Family is the people who raised you, protected you and loved you. Family looks out for one another and can always rely on each other, day or night. If you look up the word family in the dictionary it defines it as a group consisting of parents and children living together in a household, no need for interpretation. Regardless of how you choose to define your family unit, whether it is traditional or unique, your definition of family is one that works for you and offers the support needed
