[quote=Anonymous]Here is another link to a thought provoking piece in the Atlantic. [url]https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2020/03/the-nuclear-family-was-a-mistake/605536/[/url] The author argues that living as nuclear family without the extended family support previous generations relied upon has made us more mobile and afforded more individual freedom, but it has also left us feeling disconnected and alone. Initially, I wanted to disagree, but the message resonates with me the more I let it sink in. This forum is filled with discussions touching on isolation, advantage gained by outsourcing family and household responsibilities, and the isolating effect of a family-focused lifestyle that does not allow sufficient time or space to form meaningful connections outside of the family. What do you think?[/quote]
