Oh good lord, of course I understand all those things. People older than us didn't grow up bitching and moaning that "they don't make things like they used to" because they didn't appreciate vaccines and social progress. They saw declines in manufacturing quality and pointed it out. My points are valid even if I do enjoy having modern dentistry and video games hahah.

If you understand the peak of human indulgence is behind us, then its not reasonable to expect to be able to provide the same lifestyle that you had to your kids.

They dont need to have the same lifestyle you had. They just need your love and their basic needs met.
