I'm intrigued by Jean Twenge's work. She says she is not going to make her daughter feel more special than any other kids b/c doing so leads to destructive narcissism. She says this is what happened those of us born after 1971 and it has ruined us. Interesting.
I have to say, there does seem to be unprecedented selfishness, poor behavior, lack of manners and entitlement running amok in the young people in this country. Lord knows I've been guilty of it too! But at least I'm trying hard to reform my bad ways and be a good influence to the baby, whom I will take zero lip from nor spoil, like I did and was. I'm at Job #2 right now and I just kicked out these young black girls who, every time they're here, seem to cause trouble. I got a complaint that they were having fun taking surreptitious pictures of a small girl whose skirt was falling down! I stomped over there (God, when did I become the righteously indignant establishment???) and saw them laughing at their camera phone. I told them, "Out. NOW." and they did not protest. Guilty, much?
