20 years ago they blamed Marilyn Manson and Eminem. shrugs

I have no tolerance for disinterested parents who only give a shit once it's time to cash a check. Do your fucking job - or don't. Leave us out of it.

Spoken like someone who's never had a difficult child. And in this case, the child was 36. Not much parenting can do at that point.

I generally agree with your position overall, but the person in the OP was 36 years old. I don't think that his parents can be blamed for not doing their job here.
