I grew up in the 60's and 70's. To me, the biggest difference is that moms didn't work back then. Instead, they raised the kids. I know dads seem to help a lot more with the house and kids than they did when I was growing up, but it seems common sense that with both parents working, they can't spend as much time with their kids. This has all kinds of consequences: - day cares and babysitters are tending kids but aren't really raising them (instilling the parent's values, etc.) - families eat out more because neither parent feels like cooking after working all day. - no family time at night because of all the homework being assigned. I never had any homework until high school, but now kids have it in elementary school. Seems nuts. Screens are a problem, but not just with the kids. I have seen a family of 4 waiting for their table at a restaurant, and both the parents have their face in their phone even when their kids don't have phones. The kids are just looking around, bored and lost, with no one paying attention to them. I've seen mothers pushing grocery carts, tapping on their phone, and completely ignoring their kid sitting in the grocery cart. Instead of kids playing with trucks, kids watch other kids play with trucks - on their phone! Weirdest thing I ever heard of...
