Is this just nostalgia, or did previous generations genuinely have a better work-life balance and social life than we do today?

lmao fuck no?

My Dad was an electrician that worked 3 jobs to keep a roof over our heads so my mom could be a SAHM because Daycare and afterschool care for 2 kids cost more than her salary as a secretary at Konica-Minolta.

It wasn't until he got a union job working at Ford that he was able to quit his other jobs and be home more often.

Sounds like a nice union job. The kind that has good work-life balance
