“I would just like it if Boomers were honest and admitted that they didn’t want their kids to have the same lives that they themselves had growing up.”

I think the big mistake Boomers made was coddling and indulging their kids to a much greated extent than their parents did, and therby making them (for them most part) a bunch of whiny self centered wusses. But, that is a trend that has been in place for a long time. Look up Benjamin Spock. People naturally try to make it better for their kids than they had it. Their efforts may be wrong headed, but they try.

Name one thing they’ve done that’s actually helped their kids. We’ve had a shitty economy since the day we hit the workforce.

Boomers don’t care unless it benefits them.
