[QUOTE="dstc_99, post: 654150, member: 15473"] Personally i think it has a lot to do with entitlement. Kids feel entitled to everything. If you raised him in America he would say you didn't let him know about something else. Here's the deal. Parents used to be parents. They used to be able to do what was best for their child regardless of anyone else's opinion. Sometimes that was good and sometimes it was bad. We do need accountability so that people can't abuse their children but we also need to be able to raise a child without fear of reprisal. Nowadays parents can't do that. Everyone thinks they know best and wants to put their two cents in. I gave my oldest everything but also had limits. My parents didn't. Anything she wanted she got. Now she looks down on people and that makes me sad. I wish I had been able to parent without so much interference. [/QUOTE]
