[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 1226780, member: 12570"] When we grew up, it was not uncommon for one of the parents, traditionally the mother, to stay-at- home. Kids got off the school bus and someone was there to greet them. "Latch-key kids"? It was very rare for one of our friends to go home to an empty house. My father got home from work at 5:30 and my mother had dinner on the table. We ate dinner together every night and on Sunday nights it was "required viewing" to watch Mutual of Omaha's "Wild Kingdom". Today it is the exception rather than the norm for one of the parents to stay home. Kids often go home to an empty house. Dinner together? A bucket of chicken thrown on the table to be picked at between video games and facebook. While we as a society have made great strides since Ozzie met Harriet, we have regressed when it comes to social interaction and raising our children. [/QUOTE]
