  1. Family: Single parent household Leslie Pineda

  2. What is a single parent household and how did it emerge? • A single parent household is when one parent takes charge of the child/children under the age of 18 , without the other parents support. • “Most single parent households came to be because the death of a spouse” • In the 1970’s most single parent families were a result of the parents not working out. So because the parents split, or divorce. In the early 2000’s most single parent families were single parent households just because they were never even married in the first place.

  3. How do members of society see this? • The way society views single parent households is debatable since the traditional family is both mother and father. • Single parenting was usually looked down upon but is now more socially accepted, since we see more of it. Mothers and fathers who are doing it on their own are now admired.

  4. How do members perceive themselves? Those in charge of these households don’t describe it as a good thing. They often feel overwhelmed, and stressed both emotionally and economically. There’s many challenges that parents have to overcome and it must be twice as hard doing it on your own as a single parent.

  5. How has it changed • Throughout the years, single parent households are seen as more & more normal. Nowadays, for example, a teenager will have a baby at a very young age, won’t marry, and won’t end up with the baby’s father, although it sounds bad, it is often seen so now it’s not much of a surprise to see cases like these. • Another example would be, the parents divorcing. Sometimes, again, kids will marry at a young age, have a baby, be together for a while, but then realize that they aren’t good for each other, so they just split. Just like that. Before things were more old fashioned, people who were together, stayed together, like most grandparents now.

  6. What caused this to change? • What caused the way these families end up is just society as a whole. Now our society is more careless, as opposed to how they were before, just leaving a family, and starting a new one is more society approved and that is what’s causing this often change.

  7. Stable features • What hasn’t changed is the children in these households being affected. I think regardless, if one of the parents passed away and that is the reason that they are in a single parent household, or if the parents just decided to split, the way the child is emotionally affected the same.

  8. How would you improve your institution? • The way that I’d improve my institution is by trying to keep families together in the first place. If it’s unavoidable, maybe just assigning therapy sessions, to let ones feelings out.

  9. Major participants • The major participants are:- ONE parent, either the mom or the dad. The parents role is to provide everything for the family. (Ex. Food, clothes, shelter, love) • - the child/children

  10. Does your institution work better for some than others? • This institution works differently for everyone. Some might handle the situation better than others, it just depends who it is.
