I cringe at the thought of our modern society and their whining about any hardship they might face. In some instances the Similac-brat may take arms against the innocent to get their point across. The reasons for this drastic action are numerous: 1. They may have been told "No". 2. They may have a pimple. 3. They may have been on a team that lost a game. 3. They may have been punished for not cleaning their room or had their video game console removed. 4. They may have been teased by someone. 5. They may have been terminated for not doing their job. 6. They may have been angered by DHS for not paying child support. 7. They may have been excluded from an invite to a party.
Whatever the reasons we can look back at society and see a trend of mal-adapted behavior that surely influenced the society we are now living in. Recall the Middle-Boomers (parents born in the 40's-50's). This bunch of Dead Heads/Hippies were the catalyst of what evolved into the Similac-brat. They were against war, instead wanted Free Love. They were raising their children without corporal punishment by using time-outs and giving the child their choice of punishment?
By the end of the 70's we were seeing offspring from the Hippie generation start having children of their own. These people were raised to trust everyone. There is good in all people and we must love them unconditionally. Never say no and never say hate; if you love them enough they will return that love to others. They were also taught to have a career that you love to perform. Do not work for the man, be your own boss and you will be at peace within yourself. Working a job to be responsible is square/uncool. It is better to be unemployed than have to make your boss a wealthy man.
Then, by the 90's we see another generation removed from the Hippies but even more defensive of their children and they will stop at nothing to keep their children happy. We will no longer score athletic competition because the loser may take it personally. No longer will the best players be rewarded with honors (everyone gets a trophy) no matter how bad they play. Our children are our idols and we will sacrifice our marriage to keep the children the priority in the home. Our spouses are eventually driven out of the home and they are the enemy. No co-parenting, we only need your financial contributions through alimony and child support payments.
We now enter the new millennia with a new batch of parents that are even more mal-adapted than the generation before them. They are acclimated to divorce and many feel the need to stay single and have kids alone because marriage is a farce. Religion is all a racket to make money and it's all hypocritical and Pharisaical. Children have dominion in the home. Males take the place of the father as the head of the home or at least equal footing with the mother. The child often has a lot of idle time in the house. He's not playing outside because he'd rather play video games or text talk to his friends. No social development but free time to watch porn or any "Not Age" appropriate material he wants to view. The mother raised this child on formula instead of breast-milk because it was more convenient. Never-mind the fact that a child that didn't breastfeed missed a lot of nurturing/tactile and normal attractions to the opposite sex. The world has been introduced to the Similac-Brat.
