I pray my kids turn out the way my siblings and I did and not like today's generation

I don't know what my parents did right but I pray I'm doing the same things they did because neither myself nor my siblings were or are into drugs, we each have good jobs, can pay for our own things, don't need our parents to help out and are just overall self-sufficient adults.

I hear so many stories and even see it for myself with some cousins and other friends who have to get help from their parents because they can't pay for their own shite, even with families of their own. How this happens, I don't have the exact answer but I suspect it's because my parents let us fail when we needed to fail growing up and taught us the value of a dollar by making us work while in high school to pay our own car insurance and other stuff like that. Of course they helped with various things while we were in school but for the most part we paid for a lot of our own things even then.

One of my big fears as a parent is that I'm not raising my kids to be the same as my siblings and I are. I try my best but I always have that nagging concern in the back of my head that I'm doing something or not doing something that I don't realize and that today's societal norms will be stronger than my parenting. I want them to be good people who are capable of making it on their own without being into drugs or anything like that. Am I asking too much in this day and age? Scares the hell out of me as a parent if I'm being honest. I look at today's youth and their decision-making abilities and it terrifies me.
