Now both parents work while the kids spend all day on the internet or playing violent video games.

Interesting.
I believe that a married couple share this responsibility -- just like was done back in the Norman Rockwell days. I think those paintings, while extremely pure and original, portray the idealism and that there was even back then, a very real concern for the lack of time to lead that kind of relaxed ideal life as protrayed by Normal Rockwell. Sort of real-life fantasy as in those days.
Do you honestly believe The Mom's & daughters were always in that kitchen prep'ing food? Do you honestly believe that only men had it difficult working to earn money? Do you think that housework and caring for children, and manually doing most of the chores like washing, is not work as well?
Everything cost much less then, beginning with the land that was farmed for most of the foodstufs.
What do you propose for all the unmarried in today's society?
Do you also believe that arranged marriages are the way to go?
Do you believe that the "contributions" of women back in WWI & WWII are also negligible?
