[quote=Anonymous]All this talk about society and parenting is missing a huge element: money. Everything (from groceries to housing to college to health insurance/healthcare costs) is much more expensive now than it was in previous generations, relatively speaking and adjusting for inflation of course. Many college graduates struggle to secure a job that pays well enough to allow them to buy a house or have the type of lifestyle that previous generations had with the same amount of $. Two incomes are a requirement for many families who in the past would’ve been able to have a comfortable life with one income and as a result of financial strain, families are stressed! Most women are working outside the home and serving as primary parent and doing majority of the housework as well. I’m not saying we should go back to a society where women are mostly SAHMs either but there is way too much stress on families, particularly young families just starting out, to make ends meet and create a nice life for themselves/their kids.
