Nonsense. Let me spin a tale for you.

Out of wedlock births 1950. 4 percent.

That means that 96 percent of Boomers had a mom and a dad to come home to.

We’ll call that ‘before boomer’

Now, let’s look at how the Boomers fared in passing those same ideals on to their children.

1980 20 percent of all children were born to unwed moms.

That’s a jump of 16 percent.

So let me ask you ‘slackers’. How many of you dudes got a gal preggers and didn’t marry her? Walked out on your family rather then raise them and leave the mom to fend for herself.

I was fortunate enough to have a mom and a dad, but not everyone else was fortunate enough to have the advantages that the Boomers spurned and rebelled against in their own life.

Now? The peak was in 1994 at 33 percent. One in three kids these days grow up with unmarried parents.

What used to be one in 20 is now one in 3. What are you going to tell the kids today, boomers, when you dispose sage advice that ‘some things are unplanned’.

No shit sherlock.

Wanna know something funny? Who do you think is raising the kids from 1994 onwards? Hint, it ain’t the boomers. The rate isn’t climbing year after year anymore. Somebody’s finally stepped up and said, I’m going to take responsibility for my daughter, and my child, even though my dad didn’t do that for me.

Maybe 50 years from now we’ll be able to get back to the 50s when that rate was 5 percent again, but that means convincing kids who know nothing but a broken home, that this is how things ought to be.

Good luck, sir, and thanks for the ‘change’. Society used to be awesome, now it sucks and boomers would have you believe that it’s not their fault.
