I know what you mean and the answer is no. These parents live on their phones now trying to establish a public persona and neglect to do ANY parenting. I was working with someone you described and they didn't know the difference between a dime and nickel. Also, when it was time to clean the sandwich station, he asked me to bring the heavy sandwich counter which detaches from the work station and carry it all the way to the back to wash. As a "man", how he could have asked me to lift something so heavy, which I did and another girl helped me. It was disgusting. He constantly would have his girlfriend come in on his shift and he would serve her food and drink free of charge. (this was a coffee shop). I'm grossed out by the laziness and lack of work ethic. I hate that everyone gets paid the same when the younger employees sit on their phones the entire shift and neglect to do anything. The ones that don't know anything do have their parents as to blame.

for real, that is (unfortunately) happening in Brazil as well! A video of a girl who didn't know how to cut a SAUSAGE recently went viral, and a few days later, a video of a boy whose mom had asked him to cut some bread also went viral because he didn't know how, and the funny thing is that the moms even posted the videos as if it were something to be proud of that they hadn't taught their kids THE BASICS of how to take care of themselves, and they were just like, laughing, bro..and the saddest part is that they will all be dysfunctional adults in a few years and they'll have to figure things out on their own, as the world teaches them what their parents didn't...

Hm, I do agree with you on this especially in the last part.

I don't know unfortunately, maybe many parents nowadays just leave their children on an iPad instead of teaching them a lot of important things they needed to learn.

Hopefully there are still many Responsible Parents out there raising children properly with good moral values, good discipline and raising them to be able to stand on their own feet.
