We had a garden when I was a young kid, it was a blast getting fresh vegetables and all the rest.

It was possible because my mom was a stay at home mom at the time. When we got a little older and money was tight, mom went to work and the garden didn’t get planted anymore because nobody had reliable time to spend weeding or watering anymore.

Requiring all the adults to work full time jobs, sometimes more than one, means no time for taking care of anything around the home anymore unless someone is lucky enough to retire while they are still physically active.
