My first thought after reading the article is that, if true, we've developed into a culture of crybabies. But I also have to wonder where they found some of these people. It's like the author and researchers purposely sought out the worst families they could find.
My wife and I have always worked full time jobs. As the primary cook, I don't recall ever feeling stress about putting a meal on the table. We also made sure we sat down and ate together as a family every night, without disruption from television, gameboys, or cell phones. I don't think we were alone.
It wasn't always "The Waltons," but it certainly wasn't anything like some of the scenarios described, either.
And anyone who cared to complain about the meal was more than welcome to help themselves to peanut butter and bread in the cupboard.
