Perhaps I'm reading it wrong, but I don't understand where this high and mighty tone of yours comes from. You keep making these sweeping generalizations about kids at large. It's as if you're saying that the current generation of children are these unbounded savages (hyperbole). Maybe you have an oddly over-representation of children with uninvolved parents or latchkey kids.

Either way, it's hypocritical for you to pass such harsh judgement of other parents while snapping at GP in the same breath.
