"Kids these days"
Every generation thinks the one before them is ungrateful, entitled, rude, lazy, whatever. They also "know" what is the root cause of things. We beat them too much/not enough. We gave them too much/not enough praise. Oh noes! We didn't keep score and rub it in the 8 yr old's faces that they suck so now they will be entitled assholes!!!
You all have great anecdotal evidence but the fact is you see what you want to see. You probably raised your kids a different way and therefore can't comprehend how any other way could be superior.
