Seeing parenting in anthropological terms, and seeing parents where the child is not he center of everything makes no sense to me.
I think there are two sides to this as some parents neglect themselves 'too much' for their children which ends negatively impacting on the child also. But, I think there is this societal trend for everyone to be free of responsibility, even those who have chosen to have children. It is an entitlement problem where people think they can have everything without paying an opportunity/cost price.
...but that still means the parents are not doing their job, if they fail to see this happening, if it is negative to the child..?
Abundance, and decadence, infused with 50 years cultural marxism ...hey presto..!
(as a non parent, please feel free to tell me to shut up as I have no idea what I'm on about, at any time. No offense taken. lol)

I'm not sure if you know the answer to this, but I'm spamming my contacts!
You strike as someone who might know about this..
