Have family values changed?

Have family values changed over the years? I feel that family values have drastically canned over the years. In past years, most. Families were not divided and children showed the love and respect they were brought up with. Religious values, regardless the religion you were raised, were once a top priority in raising a family. Right and wrong was plainly defined.?

One or two generations ago, one parent worked while the other raised the children. Today both parents are working long days to pay bills and put food on the table. In today’s society, children live with many variations. The parents may be divorced with the children being shared or they may live with the mother or even more prevalent, the father.

Parents are torn between earring a salary to provide for the family which in too many cases leaves little time to instill family values in their children’s lives. As you can clearly see with today’s children and teens, family values have greatly changed. There is no perfect family, but strong family values is what is still needed. Do you blame media? Tiktok? What has changed? My grandparents had raised me, I think like an older generation, which, makes it hard, as a single parent to date. Many of the dates I have went on, either want a hookup (I do NOT do them and I tell them that but they still think they can get a hole in one from the date), or it is a scam (many scammers on the dating sites!!!). And as a woman, not many single men want to date a woman who have children.?

It is also had to date as a single parent, single woman and a single woman who has an education. I find men look at beauty and not brains. One time, several years ago, a person asked me “so what do you do, Rachel?” I said “I work in politics” The man yawned and went to a woman next to him, who had her boob hanging out, short skirt and smoking a cigarette (she was drunk) and he proceeded to flirt with her. I the blurted out “I used to model” his attention turned back to me, eyebrows raised “oh really, Rachel, model? Now that is interesting”. I look back on that now, all he wanted was to have the American woman experience - and that never happened. Actually that summer (2004),nobody knew who I had fancied in that group. I told someone that a few years later, we laughed about how funny things were back in the past.

To make a connection between the two topics, when it comes to dating, how do you know people want to be serious and want a relationship like I do? I was raised a Lady, raised with family values, values that, I feel, are becoming a thing of the past as we push into 2023.
