Man + Woman + Child = Family.

Been that way since Adam & Eve. Funny how the basic formulas still hold true after all these years!

Actually it hasn't always been that way. In some instances, even in America, it would have been impossible to survive with just man+woman+child. In rural America as recently as the 1880s the extended family was the norm rather than the exception. Large families with multiple children were desired because young children would inconveniently die and work needed to be done.
