Read the article about families in the past and now and write True, False, or Doesn’t say.

Families in the past looked very different from today. In this article, we'll take a look at some of the differences between now and then.

In the past, three or four generations would live together in one big family. Lots of relatives lived together in one house. Now, most people live in nuclear families with only parents and children.

Back then, people would usually get married and stay together for life. It was the normal thing to do. Now, many people stay single, or become single parents. Marriage is just as important as it was in the past, but some people aren't afraid of getting divorced now.

In the past, the husband was usually the breadwinner, and the wife stayed at home and did the housework. Now, many families have both parents working and doing housework. And more men are house husbands today because they enjoy taking care of their children.

Families will continue to change in the future. Remember that it's normal for things to change like this, but not everyone likes it.

In the past, people lived in nuclear families.                      _______

Back then, the husband usually had a job.                                    _______

These days, lots of men don't want to be house husbands.           _______
