This is something I think is really understated today. The family support network is abysmal compared to how it’s been even a couple decades ago.

One thing I have noticed though is how many grandparents are raising babies. Like half the young parents I know are both working full time and their parents are raising their kids. Does lend some credence to an old saying I heard “raise your kids right or you’ll raise theirs“. However those grandparents then don’t have the familial support network either.
