“This indulgent “child-centric” lifestyle not the way my generation was raised so we don’t have those values, nor did I raise my own children with them. My children (except one, still in HS) are on their own, debt free, self-sufficient and paying their own bills. Most importantly, they all have common sense and can survive in the “real world” (which is where EVERY kid ends up after college). In my mind, that is the ultimate goal of child rearing.”
It is not the generation, it is the culture. I was raised this way as were all my relatives who are older than you. To my knowledge all have good common sense, good careers and are thriving rather than merely surviving in the “real” world. Some cultures are “child centric” and others arent. Lets leave it at that.
