Today’s parents are in a race to the bottom to see whose house can have the least amount of rules to spoil Junior. This is the direct aftermath of divorce and baby mama breakups.

Discipline will get CPS called on you (more gov’t interferenc in child rearing)
Oh and most CPS caseworkers are “single” divorced soccer moms who will side against disciplining and fathers every time.
