While I would like to split hairs with you and say it is no more Mommies that aren't teaching values, but Daddies are also in there too.
I agree that there is too much emphasis on self esteem and not enough on values. From where I sit, it appears to me that most parents these days are too exhausted and self absorbed to teach their kids much of anything, other than "everyone who show up gets a prize" and that your own feelings are much more important than anyone elses. Rules exist only as a guideline for what you might do if it suits your purposes. There isn't any sense of being truly sorry, but only sorry one has gotten caught. No manners, no civility. Values are a quaint notion. Respect for other people is also a quaint notion. People in public life, who used to either be a lesson to us, or someone that we could look up to, have revealed themselves to be no better than most, and in most cases, worst than most. Not just politicians, but sports figures, entertainers, etc.
This is a topic I could go on and on about. We have ourselves to blame. It was our generation that decided to reject parenting wisdom of another generation. We decided that we didn't like that rules. We were really stupid.
