I have seen this progress since the 80s really...maybe even late 70s in progressive environs and urban areas.
It goes without saying the biggest issue is non parenting...no daddy or no mommy especially in black and latino communities and getting worse in lower class whites too who are blending anyhow with the former at breakneck speed with serial illegitimacy between chubby white women and multiple black not in the kid's life sires who are mimicking how they grew up themselves
But the real perplexity to me is how middle and upper class married white couples under 45 raise or raised their kids.
Very very coddling and indulgent...astounding...and often the father is meek and subservient to the mother's henpecking and dominance over child raising in which they follow all the PC mindset...no guns..not even toys, no war,no fighting or rough play, no big dogs, not much outdoor stuff but soccer where mom won't stay off the field...Prius drivers...maybe a Honda CVR if they are more liberated
and so on....papoose daddy...
the first inkling I ever saw this was in 1983 at a young Jewish doctor couple in Albany NY when I was visiting...my girlfriend had gone to Cornell with them...and even both of us were just amazed at the way the mom ran things and they moved at every whim of the kid...to me it was a recipe for a neurotic adult one day...no to say all Jews do this but dominant moms and progressive thinking is not unknown to that culture
that was sorta the progressive footprint for white household parenting which has sure taken hold
now here we are...urban Nashville in the white communities is all just like that now...a copy
only out in the country and in some suburban areas do you see the old ways much
it's awful...
one set of kids unraised
and the others smothered and raised as whiney brats with no spine
what a mess
Make it stop!
Each cultural subsystem has its own idiosyncracies. We’ve been dealing with lack of parenting for many years, here.
In fact, I look to the example of the Jews for excellent parenting: education in academics, music; arts and the classics as well as respect for family, in relation to what I witness.
