It sort of speaks to me of poor parenting. That is, parents with a lack of education, ambition, drive, success, responsibility etc. are raising children to be like them. And the question asked is whether the kids should be blamed for the mistakes they will make due to this upbringing.
The say goodnight I take as being that say goodnight on a happy ending to the story, but also a play on words. That is these parents are telling these kids they'll never amount to much and then say goodnight.
