Have you ever play 'Rock paper scissors' with your relatives when you were little? [3]
Do you agree or disagree?
The extended family(grandparents,cousins,aunts,and uncles)is less important now than it was in the past.Have you ever play 'Rock paper scissors'with you relatives when you were little?As people grow up,they may move or work geographical therefore they spend less time with their cousin,grandparents etc.Some people believe that extended family members are indispensable in life.However,I believe that people nowadays are independent hence no necessary to have relatives.My reasons are given as follows.
First,we all know that more people today are independent.A majority of people are trying to be individual when they are young.Especially in America,when you are eighteen,you are consider as an adult and have to move out of parents house.Further more,when you start a new family,you might have you own kids.When this happened,you extended family members become less important then you husband,kids in your life because you have your own family who you need to focus on and take care of.
What is more important.If you spend lots of time with you cousins,aunts,you may be hard to make new friends.In many instances,when summer vacation come.many parents put heir kids with their cousins for the whole summer instead of spending time with their old friends or making new friends.Parents might think it is good for their kids to spend time with their relatives.However,this is not the truth.In fact,people find out that their kids act independently and differently when they are at school or with friends.Since they resemble an themselves as an adults when they are not with any of their relatives.
Last,but not least,The extended family members like grandparent have generation gap with younger people.Actually,many people think their granparent should spend most of their time with others who is the same age with them.Take China as example,most of young people know that it is obligatory and to live with their grandparent when they get married.But it always turns out that grandson have conflicts with older people for entire life.
In a word.I believe that people should treat their extended family members equally like normal friends.When one people start a new life with he/she,I believe they will be busy with themselves.
