Maybe? My generation (millenial) had troubles with many kids lacking fathers who ghosted them or disappeared completely and not being educated by a combo of a mother and gramps. I feel lucky I had a complete family and one that was liberal enough to not touch me at all. Many of my friends didn't have that favor. A soulcrushing amount of them had just a mom, one that was depressed enough to scream at them and beat them when they didn't toe the line. Today it seems better in general, but less pairs even agree to have a child in this economy.
