It amazes me how many Boomer/Gen-X parents don't seem to understand that actual parenting involves being able to offer emotional/mental/psychological support to your children.
Indeed, a child seeing that all their parents do is throw money at them to solve their personal/private problems is not going to turn out well. At the very least, they won't have a positive opinion of their parents.
Their generation(s) seem to think that everything can be bought. Everything.
Even the love/comfort that is meant to be the exclusive realm of the parent.
It's so fucking sad, and yet they see that level of hyper-materialism as a good, laudable thing.
What the fuck has gone wrong with the world...
