The family definition

[camellia]

Could you please correct my sentence of family definition:


The family is the unit that may consist of either two parents or a single parent or only a couple and has the function of taking care for its members, providing learning, education, emotional sustenance and economic production and consumption.
Thank you.

No mention of children?

Anglika, I didn't include children as I thought that parents is enough. Is the sentence written correct, either...or...or...

You can change it and add something of your own, I don't mind.

Thank you.
