re: I'm tired of parents coddling their kids... Long Story, but tried to keep short.

From what I can tell, no one's kid is ever at fault anymore no matter what and that is definitely one of the problems today.
Kid gets an F on a test? Must be the teacher's fault.
Kid steals a candy bar from the store? Oh, he's just a kid.
Kid hits some other kid at school? Oh, not my kid. But if he did do it, I'm sure there was a good reason.

frick parents these days. They suck and they're raising a generation of entitled little shits.
