I don't think thats entirely true. Lets pick India. Do you really think the only reason the grandparents stay attached to their adult children is economic?

  Yes. All societies used to be like India is before they finished becoming industrialized. Ask young people in India today if they want to live with Grandma, more and more say no compared to a generation ago. The wealthier they get the more this will continue.

    Exactly right, and this is how technology destroys communities. By one thread of one human needing another at a time.

    you could use that logic as to why daycare is better than parenting too: "get out of my way, you pesky family! you are getting in my way of making money - i.e. servicing the industrialist society".
