The term family has evolved over the years. In the past, we thought of a “family” as immediate relatives. This included: Mom, Dad, sisters, brothers, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and in-laws. With changing times, families now can be a variety of closely-bonded relationships. Some of these relationships may include: a single parent with young children, due to a deceased or non-involved parent, a close friend that may not have relatives, an elderly neighbor whose relatives live out of the area or a child with special needs, such as autism.
In the past, families were able to depend on their relatives for support, having grandparents to baby-sit, house-sit or care for a sick loved one, while the parents went to work was the norm. Now, the economy requires society to endure careers that are demanding in order to maintain the financial stability for a comfortable lifestyle. Balancing hobbies, friends, and extracurricular activities can be overwhelming. Our once reliable support system is unavailable because parents are providing for their families.
There are a variety of demands that can disrupt a parent’s sense of balancing a personal and professional lifestyle:
