Parents have lost the ability to parent these days. Babies have lost their allure. Pets are more important, or so I'm told. They give unconditional love, right? Feed 'em and forget 'em. They don't cost as much; don't grow up to be teenagers; don't talk back; don't prove you wrong, etc...
The other day one of the mothers from my daughter's school called me on the phone and said: "My kid didn't go to camp today. Yeah, he faked he was sick or some
crap . I'm really getting tired of this
****ing **** with him."
That's her first born. There's another waiting in the wings for some of what the first received...
And to top it off, she's upper middle class, if that means anything.
