Agreed.  And they did it with less resources/cash and more societal pressure.  This generation  in the busiest chapter of their life is massively failing in adulting.  Mainly because they cannot even take care of their own shit, let alone the kids or the elders.  
 
The MIL generation made sure that even the weakest kid survived by mollycoddling them.  As a result, we have the weakest generation boo-hooing about everything now.  And the worst of it all, these people have also procreated. [/quote]

It wasn't more societal pressure. There is definitely more societal pressure on parents today, especially around supervision, attention, and emotional support. The [I]laissez-faire[/I] parenting that was standard in the 1970s and 1980s is now considered neglect, and in some cases is illegal. My 8 year old is so annoyed she can't go to the park nearby on her own even though she absolutely is responsible enough to go and to play solo. I would also love to send her. But it's illegal in our municipality and people have called the cops on kids at that specific park for that reason, which is insane. They don't arrest anyone but your kid gets walked home and then you get shamed by the police and whatever ahole neighbor decided to busy body their way into a situation that was not negatively impacting them at all.

So I'm going to go ahead and say there's more societal pressure on parents now.[/quote]

So true!!!  Plus one income is very difficult for a whole family to live a nice MC life so more homes have 2 incomes[/quote]
