But where are the bad parents coming from? When did it start? What has caused people so many people to become bad parents? I think explanations like this are far too simplistic and they shrug off the responsibility that we all have for perpetuating it. We being Americans because Americans are what I am referring to specifically on this thread.

But like I said, I don't think it is necessarily limited to America...we just invented it.
