What’s the difference between Swedish and Italian families..
The typical families are quite similar to each other. The most common is the nuclear family that usually consists of a mother and a father and two or three children. But in Italy it’s also on more family that we don’t have in Sweden. The extended family that consists of grandmothers/fathers or cousins, and maybe an uncle. They live in the same house as the family. But otherwise if the relatives live far away they see each other at holidays like Christmas or during the summer. There is another type of family- the family where the parents have the same sex, the homosexual family. In Sweden that’s more accepted, but still it’s not that common. They have more rights there than in Italy since they can’t get married and adopt children if they want to. In Italy it’s more frowned up on.
The parents usually have more influence in Sweden. During weekdays most Swedes don’t stay out very long, but during the weekends most people can stay out longer. But in Italy it’s more common to be out later during weekdays if you compare to Swedes. They have it easier to drink alcohol since there is not that much of a problem to buy alcohol in a young age. In Sweden it’s not that accepted to drink before turning 18. But that’s depends on the parents. Most Swedish teens do drink before 18, but they start to drink earlier in Italy. If you have a boy/girl-friend in Sweden it’s normal to sleep over, and in the same bed as your boy/girl-friend. In Italy that’s not as common as in Sweden.
In Sweden both girls and boys help around the house with the household choirs, the teens usually take their own plate away after the dinner and helps cleaning the house. But not everyone helps cleaning the house, most teens do, but like everyone cleans their own room. In Sweden we learn from a young age, when in kindergarten you learn to take away your own plate and help with choirs. Even in the young age at 3. So it comes more natural in your teens to help around the house. But in Italy it’s not that common that the male persons help around the house, it’ mostly the mother that prepares dinner and cleans the house.
In Sweden you normally move out of the house at the age of 18-20, then you usually get your own apartment in the city. But it’s not that big, and that’s the reason why it’s not that expensive. It’s also easier to get a job in Sweden at a young age. And it’s harder to get a job in Italy, and therefore you move out of the house when older. It’s more common to live at home at the age of 30-35. Since you can’t get a job as easy, you can’t earn that much money to pay for the sometimes expensive apartments.
The conclusion of our work is that it takes a lot of communication, respect, collaboration and of course love to make a family function well!
