[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 592496, member: 11791"] I agree in general, but not on "the rest is just giving in way too often". The biggest difference between "now" and "then" is... a lack of time and energy for parenting. Kids need to be "raised", not just given a safe environment to "grow up in". And "raising" kids takes effort. Huge effort. Generally, more effort than is available if both parents are working full time. So the kids are not being "raised"... and we now have a whole generation who doesn't even understand the concept. It's less about what saying "no" to our kids, and more about saying "no" to ourselves. [/QUOTE]
