Economic reality has forced both parents to work to get by, and forced parents to work more and more all the time. It is even more drastic for single parent households where the single parent is often forced to do more then his / her 40 hours just to put food on the table.
This is, in my opinion, the start of the downward spiral. This is the start of latchkey kids being raised by television and media. Parents aren't home (or are burned out from work) to offer guidance and moral teaching to these children and as such they grow up lacking.
This has led to television, and in recent years, computer adiction. This has led to parents not knowing what their children are doing. This has led to a lack of respect. This has led to blissful ignorance on the part of the parent.
Is it going to stop? Not a chance. Parents will have to find another 8 hours in the day for this to stop.
