Gov sold the idea women work is what started it. That at a time extended family not around to help. Turn 18 go get a job or girls go get married. I remember hearing from relatives young why do you want to go to school why don’t you get married. They weren’t poor either. It’s just the way they thought. I could already see the necessity for survival as well as see my older friends married divorced and about having nervous breakdowns with no means to survive. Their husbands were like big kids with little sense of responsibility. The hippy age didn’t help.
My time everything was going up to in price compared to wages and moving fast. Many of the present leaders including Clinton draft dodgers were in it and carried that attitude with them. Without the moms at home and fathers not around the gov tried to move in and been going that way ever since. Gov makes bad step parents. Some say it started before then in WW11. I know whike my gramp was away at war they had a adopted daughter who found a older navy boyfriend at 16 and my grandpa was a Navy man Lt Commander. She wound up pregnant by this guy and rather ” guess in those days” disgrace the family over this guy she committed suicide. I can only imagine what my grandpa went through coming home to bury his daughter over one of his own so to speak. That affected me to when I found out about it. Guessing survival because of things like this was part of it.
Kids aren’t learning much in school or life and live in virtual reality computers and TV. Had a conversation with a friend about Obama going to his daughters college. Point was to what jobs.I asked if anyone asked him why they need education when all is left is service jobs. A teacher friend of his said that kids aren’t being educated well. He took his college class to China and they wanted to see the dragons. They had to break it to them that there was no dragons. Seriously.
