The only thing that There’s not really a right or one

truly matters in family form anymore. Family is the

My experience with family roles-
My parents got divorced when i was tiny.
My dad got remarried so I have a stepmom and
two step siblings but I don't really talk/see to them
It was my mom and I most of the time and it still
is. She has to take on many roles. Like she is the
breadwinner. So I live in a single parent household
with some blended family. But my family is
mostly my mom , my grandparents, my pets and
my friends
What are the roles in families, and how have
those roles changed over time? Family roles
have changed over time from Societal
changes. There is really no gender to roles
anymore. Families can come in all different
ways and forms. There is not a right and
wrong way to have a family .
