Identity

FA M I LY L I F E

here are 17 million families in the UK, and in 7 out of

10 of them there is a married couple. But the shape of
the British family is changing. People live together without
marrying, and divorce is more and more common. People
marry again after divorce so children from different
relationships grow up together. One in four children now
lives in a single-parent family.
1

Sari and Bill Irving live in Clacton-on-Sea with Robert, 9,

and Mikey, 8, who are Bills children from another
relationship, and their own children, Nicolette, 6, and
Genevieve, 3.
Bill is white and Robert and Mikeys mother is AfricanCaribbean. The boys dont have contact with their mother.
Bill works in an office in London and Sari, who grew up in
the United States, gave up her job last
year to be at home with the
children.
At their happiest when:
Genevieve is singing and
dancing after dinner.
Most likely to argue
about: Who sits in the
middle of the people
carrier.
Family motto: All for
one and one for all.

4 Sarah Evans lives with her son Jacob, 9, in Warrington.

Sarahs relationship with Jacobs father ended when he was
11 months old. After that, Sarah trained as a lawyer. While
she was studying she lived with her mother, who
looked after Jacob.
At their happiest
when: On Jacobs first
foreign holiday in
Corfu.
Most likely to argue
about: Football, spelling
and why the English
language is stupid.
Family motto: Are we nearly there yet?
5

Kate Watkins lives with her children Alice, 11, Ella, 9,

Lucy, 7, and James, 2, in Holmfirth, West Yorkshire.
She is in the middle of a divorce with her husband of 15
years who no longer lives at home. Kate works as an
editor for BBC news.
At their happiest when:
Were having fish and chips
in Whitby.
Most likely to argue
