Family, we all have one whether we like it or not. Big, small two mums or one. Family comes in many shapes and sizes and not one is the same. Physically or emotionally every family is different. Relationships with sisters, brothers, mothers, and fathers, or the relationships that are lacking - all have a huge impact on us.
You may think that there is something like a perfect family right? The typical one mum one dad and children seems like a happy family. All the movies showing the “nuclear family” make us think that that’s the only family that’s acceptable to society, which is wrong. Think about your family and if they are different compared to the so-called “perfect family”. They could be different in many more ways than one.
Physically families have changed over time but emotionally they have changed as well. In different families, we see different structures. One mum two mums or no mums we all have that group of people we can always come back to and support.
In the 1960s there was such a thing as an ideal family but in the modern day, there are many more concepts of family. We see in Modern Family how there are different family structures but they all come together and are accepting of each other. There is a gay couple with an adopted daughter; an older man with a younger wife and a family of 5. At the start, not everyone liked the idea of a gay couple, especially Cam’s dad but eventually, he came around and told them if they are happy so it he. This shows the love and support of Michael as even though he didn’t approve of the relationship he came around when he saw how happy they were.
Most films have one mum, one dad, and children with such a happy family but in reality, that doesn’t happen anymore. Yes, there is the nuclear family but even when there is the so-called “normal family” I’m sure they have their differences too, they just may not be physical.
Black Balloon is the typical family but they have a child with autism called Charlie. Charlie has a loving brother Thomas and a loving mother and father. Thomas and Charlie got into a fight because of their differences but quickly after the fight Thomas and Charlie are both outside and they see each other through the car windows and have a sigh of relief. The next night Charlie has a performance for his class and Charlie gets into a fight with one of his classmates so he has to perform without being scared to do it alone. Thomas steps up and puts their differences beside him and does the performance with Charlie. This just shows they will love each other and support each other no matter what.
Family has a definition but does it fit all of us? No, it fits a small category. In reality, family is an ever-changing concept. Not one family is “normal” but that’s a good thing. No matter what the connection, physical, emotional, or blood is there are people you can be thankful for. Family can come in every shape and size but they are the same support system as your family and mine. There is such thing as a perfect family, it’s the family that has your back through thick and thin, it’s the family who makes you laugh when you don’t want to smile and it’s the family you go home to every night
