Sociology / Unit 8 Soc 1305 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Single-Parent and Blended Families
Captions available
The idea
A single-parent family has one resident parent; a blended family combines children and step-relatives from a prior union into one household.
In practice
A blended family may include a parent's biological children, a step-parent's biological children, and children the couple has together.
Where people slip
Single-parent and blended are structural labels; neither implies anything about the quality of parenting inside the household.
