An American nuclear family composed of the mother, father, and their children, c. 1955. A nuclear family (also known as an elementary family, atomic family or conjugal family) is a family group consisting of parents and their children (one or more), typically living in one home residence.
This allows individual nuclear families to connect with extended family members. Where families consist of multiple generations living together, the family is usually headed by the elders. More often than not, it consists of grandparents, their sons, and their sons' families in patriarchal and especially patrilineal societies.
The extended family consists of grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. In some circumstances, the extended family comes to live either with or in place of a member of the nuclear family. An example includes elderly parents who move in with their adult children due to old age. This places large demands on the caregivers. [12]
