Mom, dad, and five kids lived comfortably on dad's income-he owned a small retail store.
Mom stayed home to raise the kids, home-cooked meals were served at "normal" times, and the entire family gathered at home in the evening.
Both parents working just to stay afloat, scrambling to get the kids to and from daycare, obnoxiously obscene celebrities and a Democrat party filled with unpatriotic radicals weren't yet a part of American culture.
Sadly, there are many who look down their noses and scoff at those of us who fondly remember that earlier era.
Fond memorys of times past.
