We have had a huge increase on both sides of the fence, and when either side makes a silly leap forward, the other side goes along for the ride. You are absolutely correct that there have been parents who have not allowed their children to do much of anything for fear of injury, illness, or corruption. I think we have seen a rise in this kind of parenting though. It used to be that there might be a couple of kids - you know, the 'weird' family - who couldn't play, couldn't eat candy, couldn't stay at your house, etc. These days it's not so weird.... With the combination of a fear of letting the kids do anything, a feeling of entitlement that makes parents think someone has to pay anytime something goes wrong, and a growing number of people willing to accept both outlooks, pretty soon we'll all be screwed. It's not as if a judge is sitting there saying "yep, you owe a million dollars because the law says so". It's people on juries who agree with the 'wimpy' parents and allow the cycle to continue growing out of control. (^ wandered a bit, hopefully my points are all intact... ;) ) Loading...
