FAMILY LIFE IN THE UNITED STATES
Family life in the United States is changing. Fifty or sixty years ago, the wife was called
“housewife”.
She cleaned, cooked, and cared for the children. The husband earned the money for the family. He was
usually out working all day. He came home tired in the evening, so he did not do much housework. And
he did not see the children very much, except on weekends.
These days, however, more and more women work outside the home. They cannot stay with the
children all day. They, too, come home tired in the evening. They do not want to spend the evening
cooking dinner and cleaning up. They do not have time to clean the house and do the laundry. So who
is going to do the housework now?Who is going to take care of the children?
Many families solve the problem of housework by sharing it. In these families, the husband and
wife agree to do different jobs around the house, or they take turns doing each job. For example, the
husband always cooks dinner and the wife always does the laundry. Or the wife cooks dinner on some
nights and the husband cooks dinner on other nights.
Then there is the question of the children. In the past, many families got help with child care
from grandparents. Now families usually do not live near their relatives. The grandparents are often too
far away to help in a regular way. More often, parents have to pay for child care help. The help may be
a babysitter or a day-care center. The problem with this kind of help is the high cost. It is possible only
for couples with jobs that pay well.
Parents may get another kind of help form the companies they work for. Many companies now
let people with children work part-time. That way, parents can spend more time with their
children.

Some husbands may even stop working for a while to stay with the children. For these men there is a
new word: they are called “househusbands”. In the USA more and more men are becoming
househusbands every year.

children better, and the children can get to know their fathers better. Husbands and wives may also find
changes in their marriage. They, too, may have a better understanding of each other.

CHILDREN FORCED TO BECOME GENIUSES BY THEIR PARENTS
If parents bring up a child with the sole aim of turning the child into a genius, they will cause a
disaster.According to several leading educational psychologists, this is one of the biggest mistakes
which ambitious parents make. Generally, the child will be only too aware of what his parents expect,
and will fail. Unrealistic parental expectations can cause great damage to children.
However, if parents are not too unrealistic about what they expect their children to do, but are
ambitious in a sensible way, the child may succeed in doing very well – especially if the parents are
very supportive of their child. Michael Collins is very lucky. He is crazy about music, and his parents
help him a lot by taking him to concerts and arranging private piano and violin lessons for him. They
even drive him 50 kilometers twice a week for violin lessons. Michael’s mother knows very little about
music, but his father plays the trumpet in a large orchestra. However, he never makes Michael enter
music competitions if he is unwilling. Winston Smith, Michael’s friend, however, is not so lucky. Both
his parents are successful musicians, and they set too high a standard for Winston. They want their son
to be as successful as they are and so they enter him for every piano competition held. They are very
unhappy when he does not win. Winston is always afraid that he will disappoint his parents and now he
always seems quiet and unhappy.

Question 34: One of the serious mistakes parents can make is to_________.
A. push their child into trying too much
B. help their child to become agenius
