What's your take on how children are raised based on the ages of their parents? See details.

Asked by JilltheTooth (19787points) August 15th, 2010

The party line is that:
A. Older parents dote on and spoil their children; that they lose their own selves and raise their kids to fulfill their (the parents) own expectations.
B. Younger parents have more energy (and less money) and still have a healthy interest in their own lives, so are less likely to spoil or project their own expectations onto the children.
C. Much younger parents don’t have the patience to deal with children and are still too selfish (as is appropriate for certain stages of youth)to devote the necessary selfless (at times) attention to raising kids.

Please try to back up statements and opinions to avoid the inflammatory “one-liner” syndrome.
I still think Mattbrowne could have asked this better!
