One thing that happened was that our generation rebelled against the social mores of our parents generation. Women started going to college, and wanted to pursue the same opportunities afforded to men. The problem is, everyone still needed a "wife" to make a home and run the errands and raise the children and a lot of services sprung up to support that need. Despite all the problems we face today, I would not want to go back -- I just wish that some of the parents today would lighten up with their kids and give them a chance to figure some things out for themselves. Too many parents are trying to be friends with their kids and don't want to be the parent. They want to hover over their children and not let them take risks. And too many feel they have to buy their kids loyalty and love; and teach them that everything and everyone has to be "special".
