[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You people really live in a bubble. There is no agency that exists to help “over-parented” children. CPS exists because far far far far more children in the US grow up never knowing there’s anything special about them. And for many it costs them their life - at the hands of their own parents. That’s tragic (!) It’s clear some of you would do well getting some volunteer hours in.[/quote]

That’s definitely tragic but it doesn’t make over parenting less of a societal issue.[/quote]

Over parenting is a direct result of lack of community and widening of have and have nots. Parents are the end all be all of their kids success. The anxiety of parenting manifests in over parenting. 
The data bears this out as well. And it's still a struggle to maintain your parents lifestyle/economic group. The sheer amount of funding needed to set your kid up for any type of success is astronomical. And trades are only recently (past 15 years) becoming lucrative again and that's because everyone moved kids away from trades and now there's a shortage. But it is still seen as less than to do a trade.
