Of course I can say Baby Boomer! We were brought up differently, we were not coddled, smothered or fawned over! Our parents loved us and they taught us to be self sufficient, they guided us but they did not fight all our battles.
I pity these kids when they get into the "real" world, they will be totally disfunctional and keep in mind mommy and daddy won't be around forever, then what will little Johnny and Mary do?
That's exactly what I'm getting at. Loving your kids is one thing, but making unable to be self-sufficient is another.
Kids who are smothered like that tend to never leave home, or they rebel.
