First of all, I will discuss the roles and responsibilities

of my family. My Father gives provision of food, shelter and money for the
family, making important decisions. My Mother Prepares food and keeping
the house in order, nurturing and raising the children, teaching the
children morals and values. While us we need to obey our parents, help
our parents do chores, to finish school so my family don’t have any
problems anymore. The challenges that we encounter in my family is that,
well first of all is financial problems we may be in need of money but to so
sophisticate it my father will go abroad as a seaman so that we have enough
budget. The second is that on how decision are because today all things cost
much by the cause of inflation so we are careful on what we need and what we
don’t in our everyday living. Third Communication some says that we need
communication to be a proper family because nothing in life is more important
than the ability to communicate effectively. And Lastly on how the following years
will follow, I’m saying this because my father is a senior citizen now and he’s still
going abroad and I don’t like that, I don’t want to see him tired but some says
sacrifices are meant to happen, so I need to finish my school so that my parents
don’t have any problems with us anymore. Traditional family is a social unit that
consists of parents and children, whether living together or not, while the family
today is a group of persons united by the ties of marriage, blood,
or adoption, constituting a single household and interacting with each other in
their respective social positions, usually those of spouses, parents, children, and
siblings. Is the family today declining? Yes, because Declining Marriages and
Increasing Rate of Cohabitation There were 476,408 marriages registered in 2011,
down by 1.3percent from 482,480 recorded in 2010, the NSO said in a report
posted on its website, adding that the number of registered marriages has been
declining since 2009.
