The well to do particularly face a conundrum; they are dam*ed if they do and dam*d if they don't.

If the children feel entitled or unreasonably demanding they probably raised to expect this when they leave the nest. If correct values are instilled as they mature the chances them aquiring this entitlement mentatlity should be minimal. Unfortunately our current government's attitude is to promote an entitlement attitude, which make the child rearing process that much more difficult.
