I'm sure there's no exceptions either George!  What about those parents who have done everything right?  Some children..adults for that matter, have self esteem issues that are not the fault of the parents.  Some children have mental health issues that are not the fault of the parents.  I agree that GENERALLY we're raising a generation of entitled kids who don't know how to interact socially and deal with reality, emotional pain, and set backs but to throw a blanket over it as 'bad parenting' is simply short sighted.
