DEAR HARRIETTE: I am a mother in my early 50s, and I find myself grappling with overwhelming regret about the way I raised my children. In hindsight, I realize that I may have inadvertently spoiled them and instilled a sense of entitlement that I now see as unhealthy. My kids, now in their 20s, seem to struggle with responsibilities and have a skewed perception of the world. They expect instant gratification and often display entitled attitudes that I fear are hindering their personal growth. I can’t help but blame myself for their behavior, as I was the one who raised them and set the tone for our family dynamics. Is it too late to guide my children toward a more responsible and appreciative mindset? I want to help them develop a stronger work ethic and a sense of gratitude for what they have.
