        <p>A typical Russian family in a major city consists of the parents, one child and often a
          grandmother or grandfather or even both. While urban families are more likely to have just
          one child, it is not unusual to see large families in the rural areas. In the cities as
          well as in the country, parents will often live with their adult, married children and
          help raise the grandchildren. This extended family provides a certain degree of stability
          and security to the children and alleviates the necessity of arranging for day-care
          outside the home. The economic situation in Russia and the Former Soviet Union dictates
          today (and has historically) that both parents work to support the family. However, some
          things have changed and are continuing to change; you can now find mothers who do not work
          outside the home, though the concept of a "house-husband" is still foreign to
          Russians.</p>
        <p>The use of words which indicate relationships between family members is somewhat fluid.
          Children will often refer to adults (their parents' acquaintances and strangers alike) as
            <span class="bold"><strong><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru"
                  class="foreignphrase">тётя</em></span></strong></span> Aunt or <span class="bold"
                ><strong><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru"
                  class="foreignphrase">дя́дя</em></span></strong></span> Uncle. You may also hear
          people refer to elderly individuals, with whom they are not acquainted, as <span
            class="bold"><strong><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru"
                  class="foreignphrase">ба́бушка</em></span></strong></span> Grandma or <span
            class="bold"><strong><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru"
                  class="foreignphrase">де́душка</em></span></strong></span> Grandpa. The form of
          address will always be <span class="bold"><strong><span xml:lang="ru"
                class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"
              >Вы</em></span></strong></span> in these cases. Though there are terms for cousins:
            <span class="bold"><strong><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru"
                  class="foreignphrase">двою́родный 6paт</em></span></strong></span> (for males) and
            <span class="bold"><strong><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru"
                  class="foreignphrase">двою́родная сестра</em></span></strong></span>́ (for
          females), Russians will often simply use <span class="bold"><strong><span xml:lang="ru"
                class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"
              >брат</em></span></strong></span> or <span class="bold"><strong><span xml:lang="ru"
                class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"
              >сестра́</em></span></strong></span>.</p>
