Question

Explain how your family is structured as either extended or nuclear?

Answer 1

when i live with my parents and sisters - that's nuclear.  when my sis gets married and move out, the nuclear-ness is preserved.  if her hubby moves in, it gets extended.

when my grandparents are included its extended and worse if some uncle/auntie / nephew / nieces - that's catastrophe too.

when i was a kid - we all live with our grandma who is a matriach.  she's got the $$.  there's 3 aunties, my dad, about 20+ cousins and a humongous house. lots of quarrels, love, hate, laughter etc.  when she died  we all separated.  she held the clan together for more than 30yrs
