One less responsiblilty for a parent to take care of their kids. Where do they find the time?
Virtual medicine? What the heck is a "telemedicine tool"? How exactly does a doctor look in a patients ear?
It sounds like you log in, jump through a few hoops, and get some antibiotics. It doesn't appear to matter if you actually need them or not, as I don't see how the 'virtual doctor' can actually tell.
Abdicating parental involvement and handing it over to ANYONE else is just a sign of the times. So is the secularism.
When you have a society as wealthy and spoiled as ours is, you get the tendency to forget religion, values and ethics. The self-absorption, self-centeredness and absolute selfishness of these parents will come back to bite them on their fat butts. Their children will be exactly like them and will abandon THEM when they are old, gray and needy.
Those oldsters may not even be needy, but they will want their children and grandchildren around them and those folks won't be available. This will happen when the oldsters start realizing that there really something missing from their lives. There will be a hole in their lives, in their souls, which even their spoiled rotten children can't fill.
Sadly, they won't know where to go to fill that hole. They WILL be unhappy and not know why. And when the aches, pains and depression of old age come, and they will, they will suffer.
Nothing changes. Their attitude of mememe was TAUGHT to them by their parents, family, community and society. They bought into it and will reap what they will sow.
This is so wrong on many levels.
