If I were to point out one specific trend I've noticed that leads to all these super parenting issues it's mostly the mothers who have no line between being a parent and being a best buddy.
I don't know how or why this happened but at some point in the last twenty years moms switched from trying to raise a child to trying to be best friends with their kids. Raising a child to hang out with, party with, sharing adult problems with.
If I had to blame someone it would be the dad at that point for not filling the friendship role well enough with the spouse. Or getting the wife out enough to find adult friends of her own.
It seems like if there isn't a actual team effort on the part of the parents, one or the other parent tries to grow a adult buddy out of a kid who isn't a adult yet. Of course every situation is different but it just seems like if you wanted to cookie cutter a common problem I see, it's a factor.-WW
