Neices and nephews don't count, unless you happen to be raising them and dealing with their friends daily.

Nice try, but no cigar. I'm not saying your views on how to raise children aren't valid, I'm saying that your opinions on what most parents, or most kids, are like these days aren't valid. And that's because they're pulled out of thin air, instead of being based on actual experience with kids and their parents.
