Case study: The Cameron family
Jane and Michael Cameron are the parents of 3 children; Maureen (12), Millie (5) and Melanie (18
months). Jane and Michael married when they were 19 years old, despite Jane’s mother Joanie’s
prophesies of a short marriage due to their age. The marriage, while having its ups and downs, has
been a successful and happy one. Jane and Michael describe themselves as happy with family life
and were delighted when they found out Jane was pregnant with Maureen after 12 months of
marriage. They both felt ready to add another member at that time. The pregnancy was celebrated
by both sets of in-laws. Joanie, again, was the exception who thought they should have waited until
they brought a home and established themselves properly.
Their marital relationship had settled into a routine and was going well. The arrival of the new baby
though an unexpected pregnancy was a happy event. Michael and Jane noted they lost their date
nights, spare income and sleep. Initially they found the additional finances needed for their growing
family a burden. They try not to be too irritable with each other, and when angry tend to separate
until the heat has died down then find a mutual way through. They have also been able to
communicate well, mutually problem solve and after 13 years of marriage can cue into each other
very quickly. They decided with family including their girls that relocation might assist them with the
financial burden and their growing family.
Recently, the family moved to a regional country town to seek a better quality of life. Jane and
Michael stated this was for financial and social reasons. Maureen would be entering high school next
year and Millie starting school. They wanted to get away from the risks of capital city living. When a
position came up for Michael as a school district librarian they jumped at the opportunity and
decided to make the move. The extended family thought them brave as they didn’t know anyone in
the region.
Since relocating, the family has been establishing itself through a few networks. Michael’s work as a
librarian servicing the regional school networks has helped with making new friends, along with
joining the “Mighty Maroons” rugby league club. He reckons the bloke’s company keeps him sane
with living in a house full of females. However, he is always on the sideline for Maureen’s netball
games, and Millie’s ballet. Michael, through the sporting clubs, gets to spend Friday night at the local
pub selling raffle tickets. Jane and the 3 children go with him as a social outing and have dinner out.
The girls love their Friday nights as they get to order treat meals and meet other children. This
activity has allowed the family to meet other members of the community.

Jane has found it a little more challenging. She and Michael decided it was best for her to focus on
the home and resettling the children. Jane has loved this period, but the downside has been less
opportunity to make friends. She misses her mates from the city. However, now the family is all
unpacked and somewhat settled Jane has joined a mother’s group and the local Country Women’s’
Association (CWA). The surprise with the CWA group was it was more of her contemporaries as well
as some older women. Jane is enjoying the political activity of the CWA along with improving her
baking skills. Michael and the kids love CWA night as they get baked goods, but Jane is very careful
to make sure their diet is balanced.
Jane’s parents are Joanie and Roy. Joanie (63) and Roy (65) married 40 years ago, and raised four
children, Ronnie (38), Ruben (36) Janet (34) and Jane (32). Ronnie is married to Robyn (35) and has 3
children, the elder two are boys, (11, 9) and the youngest is Maude (6). Ruben is single, living in the
UK. Janet’s partner is Joseph (40) they have one child Matilda (8). The family are close with the
