We call these families “IPad Parenting,” which it truly is. That brings me to my next point, the parenting situation. My parents used to give a shit. Keyword, used to. I was horrible at math until my mom sat down with me and pressured me to learn, giving me one example and telling me to do the rest, then spot checking all of my answers and explaining to me what I did wrong. I would do the next assignment right, and now I have great calculus skills with no help from mom. If I got a bad grade, I would be grounded until I brought my grade up. My little brothers now lack discipline when it comes to education. My parents practically do the work for them because just like them, they just don’t care enough about the future. My parents gave me strict but reasonable rules, and a list of chores to do if I was to get any allowance. I did dishes, helped my dad while he was working from home and couldn’t do something, fed and walked the dog. I still do these while my brothers lounge at home and get allowance for essentially doing nothing, which they immediately spend on a video game or app. The family unit is slowly breaking apart because of laziness, and it’s happening in other households where parents are afraid to discipline their kids. Also, there is a mentality that everyone should get a participation trophy and no one gets hurt. Another result of modern day parenting gone horribly wrong because some retarded soccer moms didn’t want to make kids feel bad for not winning, which means when my brothers still did play sports they now turn into whiny bitches when they don’t get something I have, like increased allowances for actually doing stuff.
