[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parenting well is difficult and exhausting. It’s impossible to do it while pushing very hard in your career. People can get away with it if it’s only one parent who has a big career, or if they end up lucky with very easy to parent kids. But otherwise not.[/quote]

Agree.  And while you can outsource common parenting tasks (driving, cooking, cleaning, etc), you absolutely cannot outsource good parenting.  [/quote]

I think part of the problem is that they have nannies and housekeepers the kids boss around. These kids are no longer young children. I was shocked at how spoiled my friend’s daughter was. My friend has told me how her relationship with her own mother has gotten worse because the daughter punched the grandmother and the mom scolded my friend. I was totally on my friend’s side until I witnessed the kid. The once difficult toddler who had tantrums has now become a tyrant. The kid rules her house in a bad way. Mom and dad on eggshells around this kid. I don’t understand how smart people can be such terrible parents.[/quote]

Denial. Because if they really acknowledged how bad their kids are, they would need to acknowledge that it’s their fault for focusing on themselves and their careers rather than raising the kids. They want to stay selfish so they stay in denial.[/quote]
