You need to get out more.

Hey duckweenie, guess you never raised any kids. It is like herding turtles, don't matter what you tell em ther school buddies have far more effect on their opinions than their parents do.

Bull [bleep], sorry excuse for a parent that wasn't involved in their kids lives. Mine were raised right and know the difference between right or wrong. Passing the blame is typical of those who don't take responsibility plain and simple.

Baby boomers over saw the downfall of the empire and, GENERALLY SPEAKING (that is there are many notable exceptions) bought into the cultural spiral from which we find ourselves unable to recover.

That’s just a statistical fact.

One of the ways they did so was by neglect of their children. Gen Xers were the latchkey kids whose moms went to work so we came home after school to a house with no parents but lotsa fun toys. Dem boomers knew a woman’s presence entering digits on a spreadsheet at the widget factory so their kids could have stuff they didn’t have was more important than her physical presence in the house.

Such wisdom.

Colo1135 is spot on. We’re responsible for turning out healthy, kind, and productive citizens as parents. He is also right that his kids are pretty solid from everything I’ve ever seen.

Boomer has become more of a symbol for a way of thinking than just a member of a particular generation. The boomer mentality is one that refuses to get with the times and admit how things have changed and take some responsibility for it and make personal improvements to help.

People from all generations can have a boomer mentality.
