The norm now is, when you don't watch your kids and something happens, you blame everyone and everything else.
The norm in the 70's and 80's, when you didn't watch your kids and something happened, you blamed the kid every time as kids didn't get away with anything and it was assumed the kid was in fault.
Now all the kiddies are coddled and are perfect and can do no wrong (I have kids and blame them first lol). Go on any parenting page on social media and you will see it everyday. Parents have changed and not in a good way all the time.
