Document Summary

This transition is significant because we add the parental role. We add this role- the very complex and age-graded role of parent to our existing family roles such as son or daughter, sibling, and husband or wife. This in itself is interesting because most of the social roles we assume are age graded for us. The parent role is dictated by the age of one"s child and the experiences that child brings to the parent. This transition to the parent role is also significant because the child, whether adopted or genetically related, is treated as a consugine (with blood) relative , and their relationships are durable in both cultural and legal ways. While one may separate or divorce a spouse to leave one"s child is considered abandonment and negligence by both society and the cou rts. why couples want a child. Conformity: what adults are supposed to do.
