Parents don't require their kids to work starting at a young age.
Parents don't let their kids fail, allowing them to grow from those experiences.
Parents require that everybody treat their kid "special".
Parents tell their kids that they are going to "change the world" and To "follow their dreams!"
Parents don't parent at all (my daughter's kindergarten class last year, 80% of them grew up in day care from the age of 6mo up).
Parents don't allow their kids to suffer the consequences of their choices.
Parents don't require their kids to do "hard" things.
This has lead to now almost 3 generations of entitled, spoiled, worthless humans.
Actually what it has done is grow the divide. It used to be that you had some terrible people and some amazing people, but most people fell into the "OK" category. But now you have very few in the "OK" and most fall under either the "terrible" or "amazing" categories, but the amazing category hasn't grown much, and most have slid down the rung into the terrible. If that makes sense (like a bell curve, that has slowly been reversed).
I saw this start to happen in my generation, but it has really become apparent now a days.
