[ send me this essay ]

So much has changed in the past several decades. We swung the pendulum too far away from austerity to in some cases total abdication of the responsibility of raising children. Too many today are allowed simply to grow up rather than being raised, but we seem to be gravitating to a more reasonable middle ground. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
