I have been considering for a while that it is the middle generation that paved this way as they did not appreciate having so much responsibility with their family and wished for their children to have easier lives, free of responsibility.
I theorize this due to the mentality that I have heard from other Americans that it is selfish of parents to expect children to take responsibility for care of the household (such as cooking, cleaning, and aiding in care for children), something that I had done for the entirety of my life and don't complain much about. The basis for considering it selfishness being "it wasn't their fault that they were born into a working family" or other reasons. While it's true and I see the logic, in my family, my responsibilities were performed because I was given the benefit of living in a house and having food, at least that's how my parents explained it to me.
Sorry for the rant, by the way. But I have quite a bit of sympathy for members of my generation that DIDN'T get the benefit of having a life of purpose (mine being to care for the household). All for the sake of making life easier, of protecting the kids from the reality of old age (grandparents/elders) or responsibility (work). =/
Some family do this since they like to overly shelter the children. They are also kid these keep on a short leash and never have any life skills. It is not always they think its abuse but sometime they think kids are going to die if they make own food,learn clean,learn to do luandry.
Why are there so many teenagers here, is it normal?
