RESPONSE:
American family has become more and more independent, and in this movie we can see how he lack of blood ties make it difficult to have the harmony and junction in the family. we can also see a difference between normal american families and this particular family with 12 children, and that gives an idea of why the average in amercian families is less than 2 per family and the conflicts that a family has to face when it does not follow the traditional model.
