I think that you have really got it right about children not receiving enough guidence from their parents. Social values change and I think that our society has swung way too far to the "everything is OK" scenario. I have been saying for quite a few years that one of the major problems that society faces today is a total lack of responsibility and accountability. It is always somone else's fault.

I was quite strict with my kids and sometimes my wife would get upset with me (never in front of the kids). My girls are all grown up now and they have thanked me many times for keeping them on the straight and narrow when they wanted to stray. Today many parents want to be "friends" with their children instead of being a parent first, and a friend second.
