Boomers were bad parents. They spared the rod and now look what we’ve got.
Boomers turned out to be very entitled.
My kid turned out fine. Four years in the USMC. One wife. Many kids. Very happy.
*sigh* guilty. The ex imposed a no spank rule.
Fixed the no spank rue typo, but I do rue it...
Isn’t it ironic that the Greatest Generation gave birth to the worst?
They don’t seem to understand that the present and future belong to everyone, not just them.
Millenials are worse parents. They are afraid of even mentioning discipline to their children. Millenial teachers complain about millenial parents’ attitude and inability to train their children (late Gen Zs and Gen alphas) properly. Even the youngest children have absolutely no respect for any authority. The youngest kids cuss, hit and throw things at anyone — other kids, teachers, even the principal. I’m certain Dr. Spock saying don’t spank kids didn’t help any boomer or Gen X who listened to him, but it’s gone way beyond lack of spanking. These younger parents are scared to death of their own children.
You’re right. We Boomers dealt with the PTSD of the Greatest Generation plus our own in Vietnam. Society began to really turn away from God during our time, so many Boomers turned to Dr. Benjamin Spock to raise our children. That didn’t work out well—ask Generation X and Y. It never works without God and now we’re paying the price.
And yeah, I know those parents and their kids. Entitled little f***s that they are, worthless.
My sons worked their asses off for everything they have and can't stand those kids.

My kids are great. A nurse, an attorney, and a vice president of his company. I do agree with you that my generation stinks and gave us political correctness and all kinds of social ailments.
