Some people
think that extended family is not as important now as before. However, in my
opinion, extended family is still important as before. The reasons are that
grandparents help raising children and they can depend on each other.
To
begin with, most grandparents or cousins take care of children instead of
parents. Nowadays, the majority of parents have job and subsequently they don’t
have enough time to raise their children. So they ask to their mother or father
which means grandparents to take care of their children. Let me tell my
personal experience. My father worked for his own business and mother studied
in graduate school so all the time, my grandparents raised my sister and me. That
why I’m always having good relationship with her and I have followed her as my
mother.
On the top of that, they can be columns with one another. Many people are
having difficult and exhausting time and they need the rest of true love which
they cannot find from friends or cellphone but only from parents. Family has
given love unconditionally and they can find consolation. Because the love that
they received, they can stand in the survival world. For example, my uncle is
working for Samsung which is the biggest company in Korea. Because works were
so hard, he tried to quit the job. So my grandparents, mother and aunts helped him
with prayer or financial supports. As a result, he had overcome the difficulty
with family’s love and became a high class worker now. If family did not gave
supports and loves to him, he would live in fail.
To
sum up, extended families are important due to they raise the children and be a
good support with one another. In this regard, I strongly say that extended
families are important now as before.
