| The Whole Kardashian/Jenner Family. |
I can't think of a family that has more traditional and non-traditional relationships then the Kardashian's. I would classify Bruce and Kris's relationship as traditional in today's society, they have been married at least once before and came into the marriage with children from those previous marriages. In today's society you hear about that often. I am a product of that myself. Then you have Kourtney and Scott who though they have children together are not married. Kim has had one of the worlds shortest marriages and there was no lack of media there. Even the Jenner sister's are not the traditional teens. They are working already and homeschooling. The only members of the family that have a traditionalish relationship is Klohe who is married and talking to her hubby Lamar about starting a family. However they seemed to be faced with a problem that troubles many in our society, infertility. They are having a hard time getting pregnant We also have Rob who is the only brother to the Kardashian's and half brother to the Jenner sister's. He has identity issues being surrounded by so many successful women.The reason I bring this up is because, well, the Kardashian family is one the most publicly displayed families in our current popular culture. They also portray the most different relationships within one family.
The sibling relationships also intrigue me. Kris and Bruce have one of the longest marriage's in Hollywood, yet they have one of the most dysfunctional family units I think. Every time I watch the show it seems like all the kids have divided themselves into the appropriate name, Kardashian's, Jenner's and Bruce's Jenner's (from his previous marriage, they kind of keep to themselves a little more). They to present themselves as a single family unit but you can just see the separation per family section, not to mention there is a significant age difference which not so coincidentally is also a big deal in out society.

Also I find it AWESOME that all of the Kardashian and the Jenner girls work and provide for themselves. They are all super successful women, the only thing that is worrisome to me is that they bank the majority of their advertising with their bodies. There is always a picture of them in form fitting or little clothing on there products. I also find it funny that two of the Kardashian sister's have a diet line but when you watch their show they don't even use it. I would think that if you really wanted to market it you would use it yourself. However this leads me to my next point these women are saying that they are comfortable with their bodies so why did they feel the need to create such a product?
Over all the theme of relationships in the Kardashian/Jenner family are very complex and complicated. Also very powerful and female dominated, however they make it work for the most part. The Jenner girls aren't really dating right now but Kris and Bruce have been going strong for over 20years and Klohe and Lamar have been for a few years and though Kourtney and Scott aren't married they have 2 children and have been together for years. All these women are setting a good example for Kim and the Jenner girls.
