This is one of my main gripes about the age we live in: the over-indulgence of children. But I do ultimately blame the parents. While I'm sure the pressures of satisfying a child's every whim are greater now than they were when I was a kid, too many parents have simply forgotten to use the word 'no'.
My other massive gripe is with parents that include their children in everything they do. Taking them to the pub, for example (an activity which should just be banned outright). A child needs space to be a child, around other children. I'd have hated it if my parents wanted to get involved in everything I liked, or wanted me to appreciate 'adult' things.
Kids are great, when left to be kids, not miniature adults.
