I wonder if all of the little whinie-hinies who are cursing "old geezers" can even remember how hard their folks worked to get them those cars they thought they HAD TO HAVE the day they turned 16; or the $100 pair of shoes or jeans they couldn't live without; or the $500+ spent on graduation night for a limo, corsage, dress or suit; or all of the video tapes and CD's and computers and TV's...all of which you had to have in your VERY OWN room; or all of the stuff (amounting to thousands of dollars) that you demanded you 'needed' BECAUSE EVERYBODY ELSE HAS IT!

Well let me tell you I pretty much worked and paid for everything

But I know a lot of Boomer parents who did lavish those "Goodies" on their children and those children all ended up screwed up because the "Trinkets" the parent gave their kids weren't given because they wanted the best for them, No they were given as a substitute for time because the self absorbed baby boomer parents were too busy Finding themselves and/or doing their own thing and couldn't be bothered with the effort it takes to do actual parenting. Either that or they handed out goodies in an attempt to try and buy the love of their kids in order to get back at the other parent in their divorce wars
