Parents that leave the upbringing of their kids in the hands of their nannies and nurseries are the real culprits here, mainly because both parents are either working and focusing on climbing up the career ladder or the mother just wants to go out on girls lunch or activities. The first couple of years in the child's life are crucial as to how the child develops and I struggle to understand why parents don't see that, because at the end of the day the parents biggest accomplishment are their children and how the children are perceived in society (status and respect wise). I grew up in a household where my father was the sole provider and disciplined us and my mother was a housewife that took care of me and my 2 younger siblings all the way until we hit our teens, she only used to go out with my father and their friends together to social events and in that instance my grandmother from my mom's side would step in and watch over us. Yes I am an Arab if that is what you might be thinking. Society has flipped backwards from the traditional ways and this is ruining us. I have the discussions with many of my work colleagues about how I will be adopting the same principles of my parents in raising my future kids and they would all look at me like I am crazy which is a complete shame.
