I don't want to address anyone's specific comments. I do want to address the general and very common habit of blaming parents for things. Even though it feels good to say it, it doesn't accomplish anything.
What should we do - force potential parents to get a license to have a child? I'm all for that but it's not going to happen. Or should we educate people on how to be parents? We are barely able to teach a minority of children how to read and write and behave - with 12 years of public education.
It has been a commonplace to blame our parents for our problems. But it may be nothing more than needing a scapegoat...
As a pragmatist, I don't see a reason to say something unless it has a practical purpose and/or leads to a practical solution.
