This confirms my observations. I'm the parent of two Boomers and one Gen Xer. The differences between them are stunning. The Boomers are selfish, arrogant, condescending, liberals who refused to have children. The GenXer is loving, generous and just became a father. I'm watching him with his baby and I'm amazed at his ability to care for her. The grandmas on both sides have stepped in to help her working Mom (teacher)by staying with the baby so she won't be raised by strangers. My son lives over his photography studio and is right near if he is needed. I see evidence of better parenting from the Genxers all around me. I say God bless em.

I see the attitudes presented most starkly in the stores. When a toddler is being noisy, obnoxious and cute, the younger crowd smiles with understanding. The older people glower darkly. I live in a military/retirement town and I've never seen so many grumpy old people in my life. If my son bumps into a gray hair and says "excuse me", rather than a polite "that's OK" they either say nothing or snap something ugly.

I just think to myself, "there goes YOUR Social Security, bub." They are completely intolerant of children.

What do you account for the difference in your children, if you were to hazard a guess? I'm just curious since I would assume you offered a similar upbringing to them all.

During the 1960s the subversion (directed by the KGB) was naturally, of the college students and the inner city blacks. We all know what happened then.
