In the past class we talked about family forms. Most families were nuclear families and extended families, but today there are many different type of family forms. In Japan 3 in 1 couple tend to get an divorce, so there are many single parents, also there are many couples that don’t even have children. I myself am a single parent.  Right now I live with my Dad, older sister, younger brother and my son. We are able to cut down on the bills so we live together. I think it’s not only my family that does this. As a single mother and reading the passage from the text book I was really sad to hear that single mothers have lower income and higher rate in getting fired. I think this is because, despite the reason the person became single, they don’t have the experience or knowledge to get a good job or get a concrete job. I have a part time job but I haven’t been able to talk about my son and I think nobody thinks that I am a mother. I a little afraid that I might get fired or get treated in a different way. As the family forms change the society will change with it so, I hope in the future something will change or I will get a job which I don’t have to worry about getting fired.
