I hate that. Parents these days are just as childish and lazy as the kids they claim they want to raise. But the problem is, is that they don't WANT to raise their kids. A lot of them see their kids as a government check, or as a liability. Most parents simply aren't ready to be parents, and their children are a result of their irresponsibility. Responsibility is what everyone seems to be lacking today. It all comes back to that.
In my opinion current day parents let their children get away because their own parents were either strict to the point that they saw it as harsh or abusive the difference between the two is that the second is an actual good reason to be nice to their kids.
My Step Dad was pretty abusive to me but my mum is pretty darn nice and the reason she never noticed him being abusive was because she was the one who went to work all day and he stayed home to "work" on his own business of being a graphics designer which hardly went anywhere until he eventually ran away to another country like the coward he was.
And I'm pretty sure that the parents who see their kids as paychecks is a minority cause most parents I know or hear about love their children.
