Roles? Traditional roles? Maybe any kind of defined roles? That is what is missing. Nurturing and Parenting… the give and take of relationships is learned, not inate and instictive. Everyone works all their life, all the time. They have no time to teach their children anything, Let alone the proper way to caregive to raise a child. When a child sees both parents together ist is more likely to be a rushed and stressful time than a relaxed and special time of sharing or learning. Once a generation of children has lost this nurturing and teaching/learning it is maybe lost forever. We are all damaged by this. Each generation it gets worse. Continuous deterioration. We cannot behave well towards each other. We are not taught how to behave, how to share, how to love, how to care. The link was broken. There was not time. This world we have all created and live in is destroying our humanity slowly but surely.
