Even with the amenities we take for granted, some people feel that it is still more difficult raising a child in today's society because of outside influences, such as the internet. While certain things are certainly easier - such as the basics for fulfilling the child's physical needs - there are more challenges, different challenges, that complicates the issue.

Do you think it is more difficult to raise a child in this day and age?



NOTE: This topic brings people to the table commenting about a subject that is not divided by one's political, sexual, or religious affiliation. Therefore, democrats, republicans, libertarians, heterosexuals, bi-sexuals, those involved in Scientology or Christianity or Judaism or Atheism, etc., may find that they are on the same side of the fence as to this issue - seeing that they actually have more in common than otherwise expected. Since there are so many polls dividing the SH population based on politics, religion, etc., I thought this would help in bringing people together.

    Because now the entire media and the US Government are against you being a good parent.
    You can't raise them as you see fit.
    You can't feed them as you see fit.
    You can't discipline them as you see fit.

    The "world" is much, much smaller nowadays. Kids today are exposed to tremendous stimuli and influences. I'm even happy and content to be middle-aged with grown, responsible kids. Thanks for the post.

    Not much a risk of them being eaten by wolves.

    It's easier for my style of parenting I know it's probably harder for those that like spanking and those that don't want there kids learning about life without a filter to block what they don't like but it's easier for me.

    Yet another reason to forego the ordeal.

    You are absolutely right. And compounding that problem are all the 'do gooder organizations' who stick their noses into everyone elses business. Not to mention the lack of morals and ethics that has become acceptable within our society. I'm glad my children are raised and on their own, I just worry for them and their children.
