I see some amazing young parents out there. Just blows my mind how together they can be. I think I always focus on the good, because the popular narrative is the bad. However, I hear ya. Parents are overworked, overanxious, overmedicated, over stressed, overstimulated - how can they raise children who are anything but those things?
I think every gen goes through it's horrors and anxieties. But it does seem to be getting worse.
Kids reflect their parents for the most part. Some are able to raise themselves well despite their parents. And yeah, there are some great parents, but are they considered role models? Look at the media and tell me where you see examples of good parents. And unfortunately, the media has a large part to play in people's lives these days - because for most, the community has disappeared.
