Re: Article from the New Yorker
I read it too and have to agree with some of the points made.
I see parents giving their grade school kids Ipads and other expensive toys that even adults have to save for... and these parents are exactly rich either, just love lavishing gifts on their child for doing things you would expect a child to do - chores, homework or just behave!
I saw a segment about a mom who takes it to a whole new level by giving her children trips to Europe, bodyguards and million dollar parties for doing things they should be doing like getting good grades in school! Boggles my mind.
Super spoil kids

I definitely agree with a lot of the points the article made and see how we fall intosome of them.
The segment you linked really boggles the mind.
