If a dog was badly behaved, I don't think you guys would blame the dog. I think you would blame the person who looked after it for not training it, for not disciplining it, for not socialising it and teaching it was was acceptable.
Each generation is the product of that which went before. If the youngsters today are any less capable than previous generations, it is the fault of those earlier generations, the society they built and the lessons they imparted. Changes in society have accelerated over the last 120 years and the opportunities, resources and skills that were available and supported my generation are not available for the youngsters today, not even a full generation later. There are other opportunities, certainly, but it is much harder to look back, at say what your parents did, and know that you can use that as a model for your life now.
While I agree that not taking responsibility and just pointing blame around is weak, that does not mean that at least part of that blame isn't justified.
Absolutely agree. And as such, I take full responsibility for my faults raising my kids. I spoiled them waaaaay too much.
