It is pathetic that a generation is looking to scapegoat their parents and grandparents. Whatever happened to the Fifth Commandment?
I had nothing but the utmost respect for my parents and grandparents. It would never have occurred to me to blame them for my own failures.
Friday work is optional (try and get a dr. or dentist appt friday afternoon or even friday!), Working saturday? - get the boomer to work,
"I got a life"
and they blame their parents for "never taking them to disneyworld" .
Because Dad was putting a roof over their head, paying for shoes and braces, and SAVING some, for retirement, working overtime, nights, weekends, and holidays.
Dad never had a life to give you yours, and that's the thanks we get.
