The American Family
In the American family the husband and wife usually share important decision making. When the children are old enough, they take part (51). Foreigners are often surprised by the permissiveness of American parents. The old rule that children should be seen and not heard is rarely (52), and children are often allowed to do what they wish without strict parental (53).

The children have left home, married, and (64) their own households. At least 20 percent of all people over 65 do not have enough retirement incomes. (65) the major problem of many elderly couples is not economic. They feel useless and lonely with neither an occupation nor a close family group.
