I'm more impressed that though they've likely been raised with this stuff the kids are independent enough to stand solid and say, essentially, "this is stupid."

But if the worst thing these parents have done is not pay for college, openly believe stupid things, and refuse to make summer vacation plans, then these kids are suffering from first world rich people problems.

I think the worst thing these parents did was make their child feel like this;
“I don’t really have any motivation to try to figure out what I want to do anymore,” he said, “because my main support line, my parents, don’t care.”

The fact that they don't really seem to care about the children and they know it, is horrible! It's tough enough being a teen but to have her as the Mom, just WOW! I feel bad for the kids and hope they have a good support system with some other reasonable adults in their lives.
