100% true! When I travel in Europe I am amazed by how well-behaved the children are. No pouting, throwing tantrums, they sit at resturaunts with their parents like little adults, so polite and sweet.
American kids? Total spoiled monsters. Their "parents" (in quotes because they think of themselves more as friends to their kids than actual parents) standing around NOT disciplining them, allowing them to run wild, shout, act obnoxious...it's fucking sick and I hate it (and hate these "parents"). Europe is a MUCH better place to raise kids, I think.

Very ture. My friend just had his first son. He is 53 and he is freaked out, saying things like "I hope I will be alive when he graduates high school...". LOL Dude, you will be 71 or something. Chill out. But I understand where he is coming from. I don't think I would have the energy to raise kids in my fifties.
Thing is (which is kinda sad), he and his wife (who is 42) use nannies and babysitters ALL the time. They have money so they can do it, have a live-in Nanny. So if someone else is spending so much time with your kid then what's the point? Is he really being a parent anyway? Crazy.
