Nuclear family
含义: The traditional family unit of two parents and their children living together.
The nuclear family — mom, dad, and kids under one roof — was long considered the ideal American family structure. While it's still common, the term now often comes up in discussions about how family structures have diversified. Some use it nostalgically; others critique it as an outdated ideal that excludes single parents, extended families, and non-traditional structures.
