I have nieces and nephews. I am around kids. I see what helps and what messes them up. You do not need to give birth to understand harm.

Having kids does not magically make your opinions smarter. It just means you had sex and kept the result. Plenty of parents get it badly wrong.

The tanned arse is grim. You were hit and now you want to dress it up as character building which isn’t wisdom. That is how you’re dealing with it.

And blaming everything on pampered kids is lazy. Every generation whines that the next one is ruined.

My opinion is not irrelevant. Yours just leans on nostalgia instead of facts. And nostalgia is not an argument.

What's your answer then?
