Can we blame the worlds problems on the family structure changing over time?

The person that made this comment should really do there homework. Families before this so called era, weren't the happy Cleavers that tv would like us to think. As a matter of fact, some women did work outside the home. During World War 2 many were in fact, forced to. There were single parents then and studies conclude that these children were just as successful some odd years later. Divorce was strongly looked down upon, that's why there weren't as many. There were however, more cases of , child molestation, and abuse left unreported during this time though because women did not have the same rights and feared persecution. These are not values my friend that these women had. Instead of blaming the negative changes on the family unit, I blame the negative changes of society for the demise of the family unit. For example, why should a mother have to choose between work,school, and her children? In this economy, it is almost impossible for only one parent to make ends meet. Some have to though. In some cases, two parents working is hardly enough to put food on the table. If my husband were to die in the next day, should I be allowed to keep my children? This is beyond absurd. I would suggest the lady that made this comment take a walk in someone else's shoes. Not all women are single with children by choice, and even if she is...It's the USA!
