It's simply about attitude.
If you're a person of the attitude that you're going to do whatever the f*ck you want unless someone else FORCES you not to, then you might think that other people will be like that too, even your kids.
If you're a person that holds yourself up to a certain set of standards even if nobody is forcing you to so, then you might expect your kids to do the same.
I don't think it's limited to one class or another. It's just attitude.
