I think the first major death knell came with the 1973 oil crisis and the two-year recession that followed, which signaled the end of the West's postwar prosperity boom. Since then, the nuclear family has crumbled piece by piece. In 1970, more than two-thirds of American adults between 25 and 49 lived with a spouse and at least one kid. By 2021, only 37% of adults fit the bill. More and more kids are returning to live at their parents home as well as times continue to get tough for some. --- SpankageBros ... Copied to Clipboard!

was it actually good? Only to those who are enamored with their nostalgia, like TC, I suppose. --- Number VI: Larxene. The Organization's Not-That-Geezer's-Heart-Tank. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I don't think the idea faded, it's just harder to obtain.
Ultimately we should try to get there again, nuclear families are the way to go to have a well off society. --- Muscles Chicago Bears | Chicago Blackhawks | Chicago Bulls | Chicago Cubs | NIU Huskies ... Copied to Clipboard!

actually, the image of the American family only lasted between 1940 and 1970, people only think it was a century long thing but people were still living in familial colonies and homesteads right up until the second world war

It is, of course, terribly silly to think of reliance on massive government subsidies to prop up unsustainable infrastructure as being symbolic of personal wealth and prosperity, but that's precisely what many people worldwide bought into, with devastating results. Some cities and countries saw where suburban sprawl was taking them and managed to turn things around, others have been more stubborn about it. --- This is my signature.

I think it has faded away years ago.

I kind of miss the homestead life to be honest. It is depressing going back to my hometown and what used to be miles and miles of forest and farm land being turned into McMansion hell.
