I think that parents are now replacing themselves with daycare and electronic entertainment, instead of making the sacrifices necessary to properly raise their children. Consumerism is the reason why both parents "must" work, in order to give them the quality of life that they think they deserve (in order to raise their projected self-worth, so that other people will think that they are important).
