The bestselling author of Alienated America traveled the country asking families and experts the same questions: why is parenting so much harder even though the kids are less happy than than a generation ago? Parenting seems harder these days, and Millennials and Generation Z don\'t seem up for it. Why? It\'s easy to blame cost or selfishness, but kids have long been an economic drag, and adults have always been selfish. The question is: What\'s changed? The answer is culture. Our culture is less friendly to parenting that it used to be, and should be. When we were kids, no one was watching us every moment.

Our culture tells parents there\'s one best way to raise kids: enroll them in a dozen activities, protect them from trauma, and get them into the most expensive college you can. If you can\'t do that, don\'t bother. How is that going? Record rates of anxiety, depression, medication, debts, loneliness and more. In Family Unfriendly, bestselling author and Washington Examiner columnist Timothy P. Carney says it\'s time to end this failed experiment in overparenting. Have more kids, have more fun, cancel the t
