I'm probably close to your Mother's age and one of the biggest changes I have noticed is the breakup of families. When I was young I only remember one classmate who's parents were divorced. Now I think it is approaching 50% or so.
Starting with my "babyboom" generation, we don't seem to have the same commitment and staying power as our "WWII" generation parents. We are quick to throw in the towel instead of working through our problems. I'm not sure what effect this has on our children.
