Families in Vietnam have changed dramatically in terms of size and family
roles over the last few decades. Extensive families with multiple generations living together are no longer common. Meanwhile, in both urban and rural areas, nuclear families with only parents and children have become the norm. The goal of this change is to avoid generational conflicts and disagreements. Furthermore, because both parents work, family roles are not the same as they were in the past.

Do not rely heavily on your family If your family have been devastated by an event, and then only for a brief period. As soon as possible, become as self-sufficient as possible.
