At first you had extended families as norm and that was a huge safety net. Then even with nuclear family, the wages people earned were enough for one to manage by themselves, even without the wife working (if she did, ever better). Now there is little familial safety net, wages for low-paying jobs are all-time low, people are doing 2-3 jobs to survive, stress-levels are all time high, no body wants to have a conversation and is ready to walk at a moment's notice and the root cause of the broken family is that poor people are following upper class's example? Sure, why not.
