My parents had a copy of Dr. Spock's book, until my mother threw it at my sister and broke it into about 6 pieces..... seriously.
As a baby Boomer, I noted we are the most selfish generation of Americans so far but I won’t blame my parent’s generation for causing it. Not straight up I won’t.
My parent’s generation tried to give them a good life after their hardships of the depression & WWII. They didn’t cause the problems with the Boomers. Communist infiltration and socialist activism caused it.
They were told you had to coddle your kids by Dr. Spock. They were told the death penalty was cruel and should be banned and prison should “rehabilitate” not punish. They were told welfare would save families. They were told that Ted Kennedy’s immigration laws wouldn’t cause their grandchildren to become minorities in their own nation.
They were sold a bad bill of goods. They were completely lied to and just didn’t know better and were trusting of the “experts” who were doing all they could to install the Communist manifesto. All they wanted after WWII was life, peace and happiness and the hope that their children would not know war and strife and anxiety.
It wasn’t their fault the baby boomers wound up being the most Selfish Generation.
