Not a “Modern Family” at all

ABC's hit series Modern Family has returned to the air for its second
Aseason.
It's the "modern" elements of the Modern Family that you're supposed
to notice right away. The family patriarch, Jay, has divorced his
children's mother and is married to a much younger Colombian woman
named Gloria. Gloria has her own son from a previous marriage,
Manny. Jay's own children - Claire and Mitchell - are grown and
have households of their own. Claire is married with three children.
Mitchell, who is gay, lives with his partner Cameron and their adopted
10 Vietnamese daughter, Lily.
And yet I'm struck', over and over again, by how unmodern - or at least
how atypical, by contemporary American standards - this family is.
To begin with, the entire family lives in the same town. There's a lot
of "day-to-day grandparenting," precisely the kind of grandparenting
is that few American children ever experience.
Moreover, in each of the (very well-appointed) households there is
at least one parent who stays home with the children. This is in stark
contrast to the contemporary reality, in which families with one
"stay-at-home" parent are a distinct minority.
20 Even if we regard the family on Modern Family merely as an ideal,
we have to recognize that it is an ideal that is becoming out-of-reach
for more of us all the time.
