LESSON 8: Forming families is serious business. It requires a measure of thoughtful planning, economic stability, and commitment, particularly with the downward spiral of wages and job opportunities for young families of all races and with the rising costs of good child care and housing, which often require more than one employed parent. An upper-middle-class friend recently observed that her daughter and her husband and grandchildren would be homeless if she did not have the good fortune of owning a second house, which they inhabit. Middle-class parents who used to cry when their children left home to go off to college are now crying because they are coming back home after college or graduate school or a divorce because they can’t afford a house or otherwise make ends meet.
