This relates to the “buddyfication” of parenting that is all around us.
Children are now the buddies of parents and are constantly being told “good job,buddy”.
There are no standards for what is an actual good job,yes I know it raises self esteem, but it has produced a generation of people who feel entitled even when they do a mediocre job at best.
“This relates to the “buddyfication” of parenting that is all around us.”
I find it ironic that so many (not picking on you COUNT) continue to use that word.
Is it just that I’m a cranky old phart? Does anyone else see the beginning of the problem at about the time “child rearing” became the more passive “parenting?”
