Nuclear or extended, is key! At least in the context of an egalitarian society!
Nuclear families= 2 parents and 2.5 kids (the .5 being the 'pet'). Such are systematically overwhelmed, by design (i think). Extended families have been pushed to the margins thanks to Good Educations everywhere in the Realm, and even those which remain remain tenuously.
Extended families, in the context of egalitarian society, meant that young people could go to VARIOUS authorities (not Authorities) for input!! And the biological parents would have MUCH MORE sanity in terms of NOT having to do all the work of running a home!
Of course, in the context of anti-egalitarian Societies, like those of the First World, extended families are often blocked from their bests; where parents fear to speak "too much" truth to security-culture-less youths, for one!
But you're probably speaking up from a place where you've experienced only Authoritarianism in the family context. Not at this moment, able to see the value of family? Well, of course, families are under strict controls these days. And the parental units (heh) only wish (?) to see their progeny have it "easier" than they, so they try to push you into following their prescriptions, yes?
Yes. Plus it was harder to control kids because they had multiple points of view, perspective, etc.

The Authoritarians have been Led to Believe they HAVE TO control kids from being who they were born to be (in my view), organicly. The "HAVE TO" Steer them away from being so-called "Stone-age" kids, and become "modern" ...slaves. That's the Bottom Line, as i see it. And this includes so-called "elite" kids as well! (All COERCED into "One Way of Doing Things")
Not only did kids have multiple points of perspective, they had life experience, thru their Older Friends. A power spot! "Dangerous" only in the Orwellian sense of a pathologically off-balanced and forever paranoid (and jealous) ideology running peoples' lives!!
