This generation parenting or the prev one?

Many parents of nowadays have left their children and feel its not necessary to explain the difference between right and wrong and the kids end up doing such things that they might like at the time of doing it but will later regret and end up suicing etc to save themselves from their parents(who didnt care to warn them before) .

What about the "prev one" part of your thread title? I thought you would lay out a grand list of how new generation parents are evil.

I vehemently disagree that "Many" parents have left their kids, are not explaining right from wrong etc..

Parenting is parenting. Nurturing, protecting, educating, instilling good values etc. etc. are the same tenets of parenthood that existed years before. If anything, the responsibilities have only increased in this generation.

Having said that, I do not think it is fair to compare generations of parents. Every parent tries his/her best to take care of their kids. No parent just leaves them.

You cannot compare the parenting of the previous generations with the current generation...both are correct according to the prevalent conditions...Do you think it is fair to compare my Mom's parenting with mine when I grew up in the time when there were no computers...no cell phones...no 24 hour racy TV channels...and no boyfriends...yes ...u heard me right...no boyfriends...not even one..nada..zilch..zero😭...with my parenting where my daughter is growing with her own, laptop, IPad, phone...video games...disney , nick and teen nick channels...and ya...she is too young for BFs but i am sure the parents of the teenagers old enough to have GF and BF have a different style of parenting...

So why even compare...when everything has changed...

There isn't such a thing as parents not caring to do ANYTHING for their children, unless in some particularly unfortunate cases. I have made peace with the fact that there isn't such a thing as ideal parenting either. Being the sister to an eight year old kid, I was told that my parents thought it best for my sibling and I to have such an age difference so they could properly pay me the attention they thought I needed. Turns out, after he was born, I detached myself from my family irrevocably, I started doing things on my own, now that irks my mum. You see what I mean? They always think of our best interests but it's subjective how we receive it.
