that with different times, our parents and teachers lacked in explaining what responsibilities are.
When a parent becomes over protective, they tend to absorbe all the responsibilities for themselves, without giving the child a chance to have any (no matter how little they are) and without giving the child a chance to do mistakes and learn to be more responsible....

I see it in todays kids... Alot of them have no idea what being resposible means... and then we will breed more and more kids like Spears, Hilton and Lohan.
Those are just examples of what kids with endless opportunities and means do when they have zero responsibility.
