Blame it on the promotion of the books of so-called child care authored by
one Dr. Benjamin Spock that were widely promoted in the colleges and
the media starting in the late 1940's.
He was the one that shared responsibility of the ruination of the
generation of the baby boomers. Let the child do his own thing,
discourage discipline, and claims that discipline is even harmful.
Give in to the child's wants and passions.
The baby boomers regardless of class where more pampered than
every generation that came before. And, I afraid for successive generations.
We pay for it today because the world now accepts decedent and lax
social standards that has now affected all strata of society.
I should know, I am a baby boomer born in 1946.
