When is the backlash of kids being kids going to start again?

Never. As long as people have 1-2 kids too much of their resources are invested so they will coddle to death. Add some working mothers guilt and you get a generation of fucked up kids. My and your peers included.

The irony is that a lot of kids don't become fully independent adults till 22 or 23 years old nowadays, so what on earth is the point of the silly posturing from ever-earlier ages?

I spent only 2 years in the void between chidhood and adulthood; some poor souls seem to be there for over a decade nowadays.

If you're from a mediterranian culture and a male there's a good chance you'll go from your parents home to your new home with your wife without ever living alone or learning skills to be self sustaining.

Pete's got CSI in his back pocket though. The CSI dancers will be fogging up windshields at half time.

This is what happens when parents are too busy being managers and not paying attention to being parents.

BTW, no fucking way is my daughter going anywhere near that shit.... even if she is in the targeted age for it. Luckily, she hates branded clothing, so there's small worries she'll even ask for it. But damn... that's just horribly sad.

Anywho, crossing my fingers & toes for our next kid to be a boy.

Although, if at 9 your son starts getting intersted in wearing lingerie you've got a whole different set of problems
