Do those with children think and act the same as those without? Of course not. As
soon as children enter a life there is a change to the decision making and
lifestyle of the parents.
The parental status culture group also contains distinctions for those that want
children yet are unable to have them. A growing number in this category has
created a unique culture in many locations.
We have also seen a separate parental culture develop among those that have
lost a child.
Parental cultures do not have fancy names, instead referred to by very descriptive
terms:
Categories of Parental Culture:
- Adoptive Parents
- Parents of multiple births
- Parents that have lost a child
- Non-parents (and want to be)
- Non-parents (and do not want to be)
