OldieMum, where do you lecture? Have suspicion that once upon a time we may have met. I used to live in the town where you do (IIRC) and lived with a historian who is now a lecturer at York.

Motherinferior - if you don't mind, I won't say where I teach now, but it's not where I live - I have to commute, unfortunately. I gave these lectures when I taught at Essex.

oooh MI, i know lots of historians at york, do tell! hello btw oldiemum, long time no speak.

and good luck with the essay nikcola.

OldieMum · 23/10/2004 14:12

Hello, I've been buried under a pile of 2-hour lectures, but am now finishing the last one. See you in the next few weeks, I hope.

hoxtonchick · 23/10/2004 15:04

definitely

motherinferior · 24/10/2004 10:56

Sorry, OM, I didn't mean to pry.

HC, I lived with the Man Who Writes About Filth. Saw him on telly a while ago talking about - well, actually giving a guide to - the sewers, with Tony Robinson.

ok ive just orederd that book gm i thought id treat myself

so my friend is having dd tomoorw so i can really start with this booomim essay,

so i start with an intoduction saying what im going to say basically about that the nuclear family is not always the norm and it is more about economy than biology and about mutdock and so on

then the main bit im going to arguee murdocks point that nuclear famils arent allways the norm and you dont have to be in a nuclear family to have children and so on , and how things have changed in the past i.e now days ore women work than before

now im stuck

sounds positive - I have found a quote for if it is any help
from Bernardes J (1997) family structures an introduction Routledge London
page 3 "The idea of the nuclear family is remarkably powerful as Munlie and Sapsford (1995p10) observe, id'idea of a nuclear family clearly reatins a potency such that all other forms (of family)tend to be defined with refernce to it"
hope it helps
