1. This paper explores the definition of "single-parent family" and argues that families with cohabiting parents are often misrepresented as single-parent families. How do you feel about lumping cohabiting-parent families in with married-parent families? What are the different living arrangements possible, and how are they different from each other?

2. In light of the above discussion, are we also misrepresenting families where the father is not included in the household but is involved in parenting nonetheless?

3. Living with parents after having children seems to be a temporary living arrangement according to these results (especially for women reentering their parent's household). Are these extended family arrangements different in other cultures in terms of duration? Why are extended family households typically temporary in the U.S.? Under what circumstances do women and their children leave the grandparent household?
