> American parents could learn a thing or two about parenting from previous generations and from a lot of immigrant families.
My parents and most of their peers got married right out of high school just to get out of the houses their 1st generation Catholic parents filled to the brim with like, seven or eight semi-neglected kids.
A lot of them didn't make it out of those environments unscathed, and there's no guarantee they learned how to save money or hunker down for the long haul with a partner because of it.
It's easy to look back on those times with rose-colored glasses, especially if you weren't there.
