解析                 Traditional Family & Modern Family
   With the evolution of our societies, families in China have witness changs in some kind. Some basic patterns, how ever, are have much in common.
   The traditional family of yesterday and the modern family of today have several similarities. The traditional family was a nuclear family, and the modern family is too. The role of the father in the traditional family was the bread - earner. Similarly, the father in the modern family is expected to be so, also. The mother in the past took care of the children’s physical and emotional need just as the modern mother does.
   On the other hand, there are some great differences which exist between the traditional family and the modern family. The first important difference is in the man’s role. The traditional husband was the head of the household be cause he was the only one who worked outside the home. If the wife worked for pay, then the husband was not considered to be a good provider. In many families today, both husband and wife work out. Therefore, they share the role of head of household. In addition, the traditional husband usually made the big decisions about spending money. However, the mod ern husband shares these decisions with his wife. Also, the traditional husband did not help his wife with the housework or meal preparation. Dinner was ready when he came home, In contrast, the modern husband helps his working wife at home. He may do some of the household jobs, and it is not unusual for him to cook.
   The second difference is in he woman’s role, the traditional woman may have worked for pay during her first years of marriage. However, after she became pregnant, she would usually quit her job. Her primary role was to take care of her family and home. In contrast, in many families today, the modern woman works outside the home even after she has children. She is doing two jobs instead of one, so she is busier than the traditional mother was. The traditional wife learn ed to live within her husband’s income. But, the modern wife does not have to because the family has two incomes.
   The final difference is in the role of the children. In the past , the children were taken care of by the mother because she did not work. However, today preschool children may go to a childcare center or to a babysitter regularly because the mother works. The school - age children of a traditional family were more dependent. Their mother was there to help them to get ready for school and to make their breakfast. In contrast, modern children are more independent. They have to get up early in the morning and get ready for school. Their mother is busy getting ready for work, so they may even have to make their own breakfast.
