Back in the forties, my Dad had the job of being a father, and I had the job of being a minor, a child, with the goal of being responsible for my own behavior. My Dad declined the job of being responsible for that, but he had the responsibility of seeing that I knew it.

It worked well, and he died with responsible children that honored their parents.

An article:

The Overprotected Kid (2014)
A preoccupation with safety has stripped childhood of independence, risk taking, and discovery—without making it safer. A new kind of playground points to a better solution. https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2014/04/hey-parents-leave-those-kids-alone/358631

And some humour from George Carlin...

WARNING: If you are of the more sensitive nature, don't click either one of these GC's videos:

George Carlin: Kids & Parents
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-ryuJDTpEc

George Carlin: Child Worship
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6wOt2iXdc4

And one more article...this one from Dennis Prager:

In the qualitative research I've conducted over the last decade, the same criticisms of modern children and their parents come up time and again: that Australian children lack respect, are rude and entitled, are sheltered and mollycoddled, and haven't the skills or the wit to amuse themselves.

True in the US as well.

Except for farm kids.

Your children are cleaning toilets for the unelected globalists, wiping down the ceramic vessel with their useless STEM University degree.
