“that the children — even the very young ones — are thugs, and they constantly bully their parents.”
Because the parents have shown they will not level any measure of discipline at them. I just went to a store this afternoon and could hear a 2 year old girl scream. I went over and screamed back. She shut up. I then gave the “parent” a little piece of my mind. Obviously, that little girl had never had so much as an unkind word directed at her by her biological giver. Wanna bet that little girl is one of those thugs and by the time she is 7 she will have started hitting her biological giver?
People have simply grown lazy, which is why they are fat and their kids are out of control. There simply are no negative consequences to their actions. We’ve PC’d ourselves out of control.

My husband was a good one for giving in to our oldest daughter when she was a tot. I told him that if you tell her no and then let her do what she wants, it’s a problem at 2. But at 16 she’ll be taking the car keys and crashing your ride. At that point you have no one to blame but yourself.
Little kids, little problems. Big kids, big problems.
And btw, I took over the discipline so now they are well behaved and considerate.
