This is the best post in this thread.

Many of the failures of millennials today can be tied to how they were raised, and the fact that parents still allow 28 year olds to live in the basement.

Adding on to the fact boomers as parents started giving out participation trophies, made everyone feel “special” and were concerned more about “Self esteem” then results, it shouldn’t be a surprise.

Fortunately, being a child of Reagan helped me avoid many of these after school programs designed more to make you feel good, then actually get results.

Boomers would be those kids' grandparents, not parents.
