The families in the 1950’s compared to today are a lot different. These days families do not spend a lot of time together like back in the day, when the mother could stay at home with the children while the father worked. In times today everyone in the whole family usually works so it is really hard to find time to spend together. In the fifties, families were a lot closer, even though the brothers and sisters may have argued a lot, you could tell that between the family there was a really tight bond that kept them close together.

The children would go to school and I didn’t notice none of the children actually having jobs. There was a problem in this show when the boy couldn’t decide what instrument he wanted to play and he had changed his mind a few times and his parents were very frustrated with the fact that he couldn’t make his mind up. He had brought home bongo drums one day and his parent had reminded him of all the instruments he had attempted playing before. His parents were trying so hard to figure out the reason as to why he wanted to play these drums. They soon figured out that he wanted
