I won’t deny that parents these days are horrible at their job however a lot of people who talk about this issue miss the point of how modern parents suck to begin with. The biggest reason is the methods of parenting modern parents use (e.g… giving kids ipads instead of actually parenting), the reason why parents do this is mostly due to genuine lack of time to properly raise a kid. From my growing adult experience comparing prices of basic goods now compared to back then, and being shocked basic jobs, BASIC FUCKING JOBS, now require degrees that could bankrupt me.

I can see why it’s insanely hard to raise a kid nowadays. You try raising a child in today’s age where where inflation combined with shit wages, the fact you can barely find a job nowadays, and long work hours. There’s a reason why people these days aren’t having kids these days. With such extreme pressure, parents would have no choice but to let the ipad raise the kids. If you’re aware of the ipad baby epidemic, you should know the damage this type of parenting does.

Essentially the question of why modern parents suck is basically society putting extreme pressure on parents, modern parents being unable to meet such expectations, and then society coping and seething that a sizeable chunk of kids are so horribly raised despite the fact THEY are the ones that put such pressure that gave them no choice but to let the ipad raise them begin with. They don’t suck because they’re lazy, they suck because society forced them to.
