This is just a general question that's been on my mind for a while. Where have we as parents gone so wrong that we now have to rely on "Nanny 911" or "Super Nanny" to help raise our kids? Generations past have just gotten on with it and raised their kids without having to resort to books and tv. Never before have we had such an ill-behaved, spoiled and bratty generation growing up around us. What's changed in your opinion?
Keep in mind that I'm not criticizing anybody..I'm just looking for all thoughts and opinions.
My husband says that in years past all members of a family helped raise a child..meaning parents, grandparents, extended family, etc. Perhaps the break-down of the family unit is to blame. I think too many parents want to be their kids' friends instead of parents.
