Parents work more nowadays, and they spend less time with their kids. One way of compensating (the WRONG way), is to buy the kids things and give them whatever they want. Buying the love, effectively.
But of course, as we all know, because we are people of common sense, such parenting teaches your kid that there are no boundaries to what they can have.
And it doesn't work, because such children do not often respect or appreciate their parents, because they've always been given everything.
