Times are bad, most people think reading is a waste. I know several people personally who relentlessly picks on their kids for reading a lot when they could be working or doing something else.
Honestly, I don't understand why a parent would not want their kid to love reading and thus get a cushy job that doesn't require manual labor. It just amazes me that we've come to this point as a society.
I also picked up on that writer noting how the mom wasn't around for a good hour. I see this all the time at work, too. I think the current "parent" generation are a bunch of screw ups and I honestly think the next generation will be better because generally younger generations react against the older one.
