    Every generation has their struggles, so it can be hard to understand what it’s like for others. If I felt like I had a hard life then someone started complaining about how easy my generation had it then I would probably get pretty defensive.

    Elizabeth Warren wrote a book (about 20 years ago) called The two income trap about the problems for families caused by the move to having both parents work. She isn’t advocating for families to choose to only have one parent working, but rather for wider societal change and some specific policies. Disclaimer: I haven’t actualy read the book, only the wikipedia page.
