Many parents of millennials were just as pampered by their boomer parents. The last uniformly competent generation in America was the Great Depression/WWII generation.
Millennials now are 21 to 37. Boomers are 55 to 73—a good chunk of the Millennial parents.
And of course no one generation was uniformly anything.
But a majority who grew up through the ‘70s worked as teens and learned basic life skills in their youth.
