Yes the wealthy do this. However the poor and middle class also do it.
It is child abuse no two ways about it.
Find your morality somewhere, but do find it.

Neither do fathers. Some kids have cruel behaviors that are their own. But moms are often targeted for blame.

We like to think of children as innocent vessels, but they come into the world with many individual traits of their own. When they are taught to hate, the lessons may not come from the mother. She may do what she can to correct them. Or not. The father’s role should not be ignored either.

But I get tired of seeing mothers taking the blame for kids who go wrong. Kids and young adults are not just the sum of influences. They are born with or without a good compass sometimes.
