It’s a continuum, of course. Those over-scheduling, overachieving parents are the products of their own pressure-cooker parents. I’m less interested in finding someone to blame than in figuring out what we as a society can do to change the insanity of our society.
I’m not sure it’s that the parents are overachievers. It might be that they need multiple part-time, low-wage, no-benefits jobs to survive. If so, it’s fairly clear what has to change.
