IV. Relatives
Q: You said that you're very much influenced by your relatives from Scotland. What kind of people are they?
My grandparents are very loud people, and very friendly people, those speak to strangers on the street, and those speak to anyone really, who's willing to listen.
They can talk for hours about nothing really, but sometimes they do tell quite interesting stories, so, it's interesting to listen to them. They have six children, so, my father has quite a lot of brothers and sisters. They're both retired now, obviously. And my grandfather worked for the high job, which is the electric power company.
V. A typical family.
Q: What is a typical Canadian family?
Normally a Canadian family has, I would say, typically two parents and mostly two children,
But, of course, there are always variations, and it's not better to have one type of family or the other. Sometimes there could be one parent, sometimes children don't have to live with their parents. But it's quite average, that you would have two parents and one child, or two children, or three children. Anything larger than that would be uncommon.
Q: What age do most people tend to get married at?
I would say most people now get married in their later twenties. I find that my parents' generation... it seemed that everybody was getting married in between twenty and twenty five, but now I find that people usually get married around twenty five to thirty. And I guess, it's because people stay in school a lot longer now these days, it seems, and try to get an education first.
Q: Do the young follow their parents' advice, what they should do, and who they should date?
I think that everybody always worries about their parents' opinion, and hope that their parents would like who they might be dating. But I find that people seem to be very independent, and would trust first their own opinion, and then may be their parents' opinions second, whether or not their parents like the person, that they're dating. So, I guess, it does have an influence, but only secondary.
Q: Is divorce typical in Canada?
I wouldn't say, divorce is a typical thing in Canada, but it's not uncommon to hear of divorce. I would say most people do not get divorced, obviously, but I wouldn't be shocked to hear, that somebody would be getting divorced, no.
Q: What age do young people usually move out of their parents' house?
Usually people move out of their parents' house in Canada, when they're in their late teenage years, or the early adult years. Usually a lot of people move away to go to school. It's not typical, that somebody would be in their twenties and still living with their parents, because it is possible to find affordable accommodation, so, people generally don't wish to live at their parents' at an older age.
VI. Grandparents.
Q: What do your grandparents think of Canada? Do they like it?
Yes, my grandparents like Canada very much. And I generally find that all Scottish people seem to love Canada very much. I think it's because people in Canada are for the most part friendly and like to talk to strangers. And I find that Scottish people like to speak a lot to lots of different people, so, they can generally find company to speak with. Yes, they're always speaking very highly of Canadians, that now they actually have their Canadian citizenship. That was very important to them, because they like the country so much. And they like to tell everybody, how they're Canadian citizens, whenever they get the chance.
Q: Jenifer, tell us something interesting about them, please.
I can't think of a specific story, that says, how they're Scottish, but they look very much Scottish,
and speak with a very strong accent so much, so that...I have a girlfriend from South Africa, who, of course, also speaks English, and she has a hard time understanding them, because their accent is so strong, and they use a lot of Scottish words, that we don't use in Canada. And their behavior is very Scottish. And they try to tell Scottish folk stories, and they... they love to listen to Scottish music with bag-pipes, and tell people all about what this song might be.
