    Families in the 1950’s are much different than now. In the 50’s the majority of women were married and having kids by the age 20. Most women now get married around the age 27 and they don’t have kids right away. Not only is marriage different now but so is divorce. Stephanie Coontz states in her article, “What We Really Miss About The 1950’s,” that “ninety percent of all households in the country were families in the 1950’s, in comparison with only 71 percent by 1990. Eighty-six percent of all children lived in two-parent homes in 1950, as opposed to just 72 percent in 1990.” There are many different kinds of family structures that are present now. Nuclear, single-parent, adoptive/ foster, same-sex, and blended families all exist. Many people still believe that perfect 1950 families should be the only type of families that exist. The perfect 1950 nuclear white family is still
