It's the best ideal to shoot for, but not the reality of human nature at the end of the day, nor is it an adaptable structure, which life, frankly, constantly requires.
That said, the constant talking down of it is just an excuse to justify failure, even if that would've been the outcome anyway.
I'm not sure why so many people think this is dead - drive around any big city and you'll see mile after mile of "American Dream" type stuff doing just as well as ever, thank you. If not better.
Main difference nowadays is that the wife usually works, too, which wasn't as common 50 years ago.

True, but I think it should be viewed as one level in a hierarchy. I think we forgot that we all share the same ship with hundreds of other families and individuals. All we have is each other in this country/world.
It was the best earth has put forward.. until liberals destroyed it
Yeah those crazy liberals with their nasty ideas like weekends (no more 6 day workweeks), paid overtime, paid time off, safety regulations, child labor laws, Social Security and Medicare and so much more. Life was just perfect before they came along.....
Just a blip in our history? We tried to go for this whole idea with a house a car a nuclear family and a steady job. Not that simple today.
I don't believe anybody way back then, could have ever envision an America we live in today. So much is so different from those days of yore in our society, so many things we couldn't even imagine back then. I believe it does exist out for a much smaller number of people, but todays nuclear family is not your Leave it to Beaver nuclear family.
