    Yeah that doesn’t jive anymore in the era of smartphones and social media unfortunately.

    Parents are overworked in increasing wealth inequality.

    School becomes a necessary daycare. Less time with parents, sadly. More time learning bad habits from peers.

    Combine with easily access internet access. And if parents are strict they’re accused also of being helicopter parents bubble-wrapping their kids from reality. Connect the dots. Most saying it’s easy aren’t actually parents themselves.
