By Dr. Jeff Mirus, Catholic Culture - In the society of factories and offices, for example, it is necessary to separate parents and children for the bulk of most days, as well as separating spouses from each other. This was mitigated during a period of single income families, but only through the familial marginalization of fathers. Still, it was the rise of industrialization that led to the regimentation of widespread public education, taking the children out of the home from an early age, and eventually separating the father (in most cases) as primary producer from the mother and children as, in effect, consumers.
