What England do you live in? The Nuclear Family of a mother, father & 2.4 children hasn't been considered the standard for 30 years. An anecdote to illustrate this would be that when I first started attending school in the early eighties, I felt inferior to the majority of my classmates because my parents were actually living together. I felt I had been robbed of a second home & the joy of being able to switch between the two.
I also called my parents by their first names, & it was very later on that I learned to apply them labels due to their standing in the familial hierarchy. At least my father got that right, he kept my mother bare-foot & pregnant in the kitchen.
