This is a question Helicopter Parents

Back when young ScaryDuck worked in the Dole office rather than simply queuing in it, he had to deal with a claimant brought in by his mum. She did all the talking. He was 40 years old.

Have you had to deal with over-protective parents? Get your Dad to tell us all about it.

Do point out where I'm wrong.

Calm down Littlejohn.

Yay for insult in lieu of a point
Seriously - there IS a difference with kids today not having any respect. I've even seen kids expressing this opinion.

But by all means, put on some more petuli oil, Starchild.

Seriously.
You're blaming this on hippies?

They're the ones that broke open the perfectly workable previous system.
I do think that there needs to be a radical rethink of how children are perceived of in Western society, and whether or not they should be encouraged to think of themselves so highly, as I don't think it does anyone - them included - any good.

This is woolier thinking than anything coming from any hippy.
Perhaps you weren't beaten enough as a child.

Sorry - you don't seem to have explained how it's woolly.
I mean, unless you're simply resorting to "You're stewpid!", in which case, fine.

Other than 'I blame the hippies' you're not really expanding your theory.
You should have been beaten more as a child, you're clearly very lazy and unsure of your place here.

Yes I have.
I've said that kids have a place in society lower on the rungs than adults.

Someone's got a boss younger than them.

I'm one of them.
He's not a little shit.
