This trend is partly a result of the fact that baby boomers are a spoiled, self-obsessed bunch of brats (and I say that as one of them). Parents deprived during the Great Depression and WWII spoiled their kids rotten.

It may take a couple of generations and may already be happening that young people are themselves determined not to have children, then divorce like their parents did, but instead want their marriages to last. That's partly the reason why young adults are waiting longer to get married and have children.

My two cents....

Just curious, but what generation do you call your own? If you pre-date the boomers, I'll consider your opinion as valid, If on the other hand you're just another bitter xer that hates everyone born before you....well...it goes without saying.
