Even compared to how I thought of family as a child, a lot has changed in my mind. Even though some may think families are deteriorating or getting better, I believe they are simply changing. #MsideFamSoc

Over the course of this semester, I have learned a lot about family formations and what impacts those formations. It has been really interesting learning about how things are not what they always seem. #MsideFamSoc

Research shows that the United States is due for new policies regarding family ties and living. It will be interesting to see the platforms of the upcoming presidential candidates. Their views on family will impact the future of this country. #MsideFamSoc

Due to the fact that the United States' population is aging and child-bearing is decreasing, there are concerns regarding the care-taking of those in the middle generation. #MsideFamSoc

Did you know that the United States has spent over 600 million dollars on creating successful marriages through PWORA? Surprisingly, this did not increase the success of marriages. In fact, a lot of these marriages showed an increase in violence. #MsideFamSoc

Thinking back to my childhood and life today, I can see that my parents used the democratic parenting style. They encouraged my siblings and I to work hard and make wise choices based on what is right. #MsideFamSoc

The government shows the types of family formations they support and aim to see through their policies. #MsideFamSoc

After discussing the different types of parenting in class, it is evident that "lawn-mower" parents are increasing. Instead of the past "helicopter" parents, the "lawn-mower" parents pave the way for their children. #MsideFamSoc

It is crazy to think about the extensive process to adopt a child. Proof of safe housing, an attorney, adoption fees, and many other processes are needed in order to adopt. Fees end up totaling 20,000 to 50,000 dollars to simply adopt. #msidefamsoc

Interesting to think about how the United States would change if we did not have debt from attending college. It would definitely have an impact on family formations and when they form. #MsideFamSoc

#MsideFamSoc Really interesting to see the age differences by state at which a person may get married. It would be interesting to look at the factors relating to the many different age ranges.

What’s the median age at first marriage in your state? Check out the latest NCFMR Family Profile—Median Age at First Marriage: Geographic Variation, 2017—and see how your state compares. https://t.co/RbWtzrg9ax @RLClarkPop @NICHD_NIH @wmannin @Brownsl_BGSU @Kellyba_BGSU

#MsideFamSoc This connects back to our class discussions. It is interesting to see what the outcomes may be if the trends continue.

Delayed life decision—such as homeownership, marriage, and children—could put Millennials at a disadvantage when it comes to saving for retirement https://t.co/d1A7Lmqv44

Thanks @Abigail_m_e_ for acquainting me with the term "throuple" and leading me to find this video that provides an interesting perspective on polyamorous relationships. https://t.co/HwY1Vq5TKq #throuple #etownmarfam

@CascataNerina I believe the amount of education and the cost of education will be one of the biggest factors that will change family formation. More and more individuals feel the need to become stable before committing to their family formation. #MsideFamSoc

[Hannah Sibbel @HSibbel]

It's very interesting to study the direction of future family formations. Family formations are impacted by schooling, economy, and many other factors. #MsideFamSoc

“Usually mentioning that you are a mother was a death sentence in the workforce,” said @caitymcollins, @wustlsoc Now, far from being seen as a hindrance to a political career, motherhood is being used as an asset. “That’s an enormous cultural shift” https://t.co/CNCOsaIEsj

[Hannah Sibbel @HSibbel]

These statistics are very interesting. It makes me wonder what the percentages will look like in the future. #MsideFamSoc

Teen girls spend more than twice as much time daily cleaning the house and preparing food as boys do (29 minutes vs. 12 minutes) https://t.co/rjyjyboOe8

In class on Tuesday, we discussed the different views people may have on family today. Individuals may think family life is deteriorating, changing, or stronger than ever. There are arguments for each viewpoint. #MsideFamSoc
