Newsweek: The Culture Wars Won't Feed My Children

 

Opinion piece by Ailen Arreaza, Co-Director of ParentsTogether Action

In research conducted this summer by ParentsTogether Action and Avalanche Insights, we heard loud and clear from parents and voters across the board about what families are feeling. They used words like "chaotic," "difficult," and "stressful" when describing the past year. More than three-quarters of voters told us that raising a family in America today is either "much harder" or "a little harder" than it was for their parents' generation, including 71 percent of parents currently raising children under 18, and 83 percent of parents who previously raised children.
