sounds more like an excuse than a reason to me

It depends on your focus. If your focus is the parent, then it's an excuse. The parent isn't doing his job. But if your focus is on the kids, then it's a reason. The kid is a kid. He has done nothing to be excused.

I think the state of parenting is pretty sorry, too, but you have to play the hand you're dealt. Unless we intend to take action to assure than only loving, competent, and dedicated people produce children or let the children grow up to be a negative in our society, we what can we do but focus on the kids?
