Let me clear this up
I am a millennial. Things weren't better in the 1950s and you are not morally superior if you are a baby boomer, simply by the virtue of being a baby boomer. Parenthood was not "better". Sure, we had more traditional nuclear families. But don't pretend that fathers, overall, were more involved in their children's lives. A wife's job, at that time, was to stay home, mind the house, and raise the children, so that when men came home from work, everything and every one was clean, calm, and presentable. If there was stress and noise and discord in the home, it's because the wife FAILED in her duties. Sure, maybe we had lower divorce rates. But we also had women essentially chained in domestic servitude. Women who couldn't leave if their husbands abused, neglected, or were unfaithful to them. They didn't make their own money. Women had to shoulder 100% of the burden of the home and birthing and raising children. Don't pretend fathers were more involved. Look at any sitcom from this era (Leave it to Beaver, Ozzie and Harriet, The Donna Reed Show), shows that portrayed the "ideal", and tell me when fathers were supposed to be involved. Don't pretend you're better than us; this disaster isn't all of our making, but we're sure trying to clean it up. Don't pretend that the world is worse now because "fathers aren't involved like they were before the 1960s".
