Nuclear Family or elementary family or conjugal family is essentially a family which has parents (mother and father) and children. It is a disintegrated subset of a joint family. This breakdown of the extended family unit has its own social landscape and perceptions. The culture which is commonly prominent in the west is now dominating the Indian society due to changing requirements of lifestyle and needs be it financial or social. There is an emerging trend in parenting, wherein with an increasing number of families going the nuclear way, fathers were getting more and more involved in sharing the parenting responsibility.
