Times have changed. Like Edmund Burke said in some way, be careful not to lose what is good with change. I'm trying to remember the exact period of time I started hearing about the advice that children are better off at day care learning from their peers. I think it was Maria Shriver that suggested to throw away the book. At a later date, someone I know was told it's not good to move in a parent in cause could affect his relationship with his third wife. Wives tend to come and go these days, so something to think about how someone will feel in the long haul. There was a period of time people started receiving more advice about how to go about life. All I know from taking my family member in is that I am so thankful for the time we had together. It's true that both people work more now, but everyone questions why there are so many cultural problems that didn't exist in the past too. Seniors can be cared for in a home where two people work, just as they could at any other location. That way, there is oversight too. Married women who don't work outside the home are now often made to feel in such a way that they don't measure up, so I guess some of what to do at any period of time can be like a fad. The generation before the ladies doing the same were often highly esteemed. Something else to think about is how many people take antidepressants? When change is good, it seems like there wouldn't be such a need for those drugs on the level that's being reported. All I'm suggesting is to consider the changes that have taken place in society and are they good or bad. There is a book to read, but I need to look for the title, that goes into how advice is given in such a way to cover the whole instead of individual. I think people should make decisions based on individual circumstance. If your read my previous post, I said I'm playing by ear and don't have the answer.
