I, too, have noticed this disturbing trend…now that I’m getting closer to the age when I’ll be having my own children, it bothers me even more. I think there are several reasons why this has occurred in our culture: 1.) Parents don’t want to be parents…they want to be friends. They want to avoid conflict. Therefore, they don’t discipline their children. 2.) They don’t teach their children about authority, or the need to respect it. Let’s face it, these children are the offspring of baby-boomers. That generation decided to reject all current Western philosophies and practices to achieve some ‘enlightened’ state that their parents were for some reason unaware of. The parents rejected their parents’ authority, and never taught their kids to respect it, either. Therefore kids no longer hold parents as sacred.
