That disgusting trend seems to be growing in today's permissive society. How would one prepare for that eventuality. Just a thought...
How about giving them a "kick start".... tough love unless it's really tough times for them (the kids). No one wants to be used and abused even if it's your own children. I've seen this happen to a couple of my friends, a loss of respect for the parents and an air of "you owe me" all lead to stress and resentment.
