Fatima 1960 was not associated with doom and gloom. It was rather something we looked forward to - a secret to be revealed. Overall I don't buy you theory because there is just as much unfullfilled prophecy and riddle-filled apparitions outside of tradition, in conservative New orderites.

Third secret of Fatima was believed to be apocalyptic...hence doom and gloom. Catholics must do this or else...

Well, there is little doubt that the Third Secret says about great apostasy in the Church and divine chastisement killing large portion of mankind - the evidence is overwhelming. This is why we have to take it very seriously and strive towards Consecration of Russia.

However, you might be on to something - many Trads are obsessed with private revelations to a degree that it becomes central point of their faith. If your Catholic faith rests primarily upon private revelations rather than solid catechesis and Catholic dogma, there is definitely a problem there, and if the children get the same mindset they don't have a solid foundation for staying Traditional Catholics.

....Exactly, the world is full of unfulfilled prophecy...so why believe in anything...just be a "good guy" and "follow your heart" and God will take care of me.

We must not jump into extremes. Fatima is a very serious matter and if the Consecration of Russia will not be done, a divine chastisement prophecied in Fatima and Akita will probably fall upon us. On the other hand, these private revelations cannot be fundation for faith - children need solid catechesis and Catholic dogma to stay Traditional Catholics.
