Nowadays, the younger generations, siblings, are always part of a complex and polarized transgenerational perspective, regardless of the genders involved in their birth. Such an observation contradicts the qualifying methods (single parenthood) of many families in multiple forms of distress in which one of the two parents assumes full responsibility for the children’s daily care.
