the children of "Generation Reagan"--many of whom have revived the "stay-at-home-mom" movement, suffered through a Great Depression of ideals vis-a-vis a lack of family values and no attention from the "into themselves" Boomer generation who were too busy continuing to make themselves "feel good and enjoy life." We were the first "latch-key" generation, and thus our character was built based on that. That's why we embraced Reagan.
