One thing to remember about the 50's-60's-- The familys were there- it was more like the "Leave it to Beaver" type family with Mom at home, Dad working and the kids having supervision before and after school...You don't see that at all now- as in most families both parents have to work- some working 2 jobs- almost takes one job just to provide health care for a family-- many kids hardly ever see their parents anymore...Many a kid I see today, wouldn't even get to school if they didn't get themselves ready- and have no one at home to come home to....

Used to be, before the mobile world came to be, that many families lived next to their extended families also- grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc.- all there to help raise the kids and teach them values...Now you have folks moving all around the country much more to follow their avocation and chase the almighty dollar...Some Dads are jumping the plane- commuting to work Monday AM and not showing back up until Friday or Sat...

And thats not counting all the single parent families....

I guess this is progress :???:
