familiarity breeds contempt

I do not buy that "latchkey" argument. Many kids did not have their parents around. My family is a good example. My Grandmother worked and did not stay home with her kids every waking moment and all but one got a college education. The only one that did not go to college ended up being the most successful.

The bottom line is there are kids that have everything and they act like little brats because their parents never check them. It is really bad with the kids that have everything. They think their kids above approach and being told what to do by other adults. In my time if I did something wrong my parents thanked the adult. Now, if another adult looks crossed-eyed at their kid they want to get a lawyer. We have a parenting problem, not a kid problem.

Just another consequence of today's shallow, consumption-crazy, selfish society. Look at what everyone's been watching on TV for the last several years - reality television. That says it all.
