Millennials blame parents

Millennials are very salty at their parents for not teaching them how to adult. Did the boomers really fail the millennial generation or are they just moronic?

    Inclined to agree judging from how my sister is raising her kids.
    Every kids favourite game is "who can be the loudest and most annoying to get the most attention from adults" but for some reason parents now think this needs to be rewarded and encouraged.

      My sister is probably the worst parent I've ever seen. She never disciplines her kids and all they eat is snacks from the pantry since she doesn't cook for them because she'd rather watch tiktok all day. I used to like spending time with my niece and nephew but they're so spoiled and whiny I find them insufferable now. The last time I watched them I didn't have enough prior warning to go to the store, and she brought no snacks, so they literally cried like homosexuals simply because I had no gatorade, because I don't drink that shit myself. They're also getting fat like their idiot mother. I'm about at the point where I'm going to refuse to watch them if it gets any worse, which I'm sure it will since they're going to start puberty any day now and have zero social skills or discipline.

        And it's just impossible to talk to them about it because they just play the "this is just how it is now, you'd know if you had kids"-card.

      I've also noticed an aversion towards teaching kids not to interrupt for some reason, it is incredibly difficult to visit friends who have kids because of this.
      >in the middle of a conversation
      >HEY MOM DID YOU KNOW IN FORTNITE-
      >this is rarely met with "anon was talking, you just interrupted him" but rather the attention is immediately given to the kid
      really strange way of doing it, since it also encourages the behaviour. I feel like we went from
      >yell at the kid for any small (or percieved) infraction
      to
      >the kids need to have 110% attention all the time or they will literally die
      there is a middle ground here, I don't understand why it's one or the other.

        Feels a lot like parents just throw some device at them to get them to behave for a small amount of time. Having unfettered access to the internet in their teens ruined so many people, I can't imagine what kind of damage it does to even younger kids.

      A good father would have taught me to build meaningful relationships, avoid shit people and consumerism, save money and invest and acquire wealth, develop physical and mental strength, appreciate and make art, build a community and family. Not just throw his children to some school, throw money at us to consoom shit and believe that's a life education.

      I do, but I’m also not a whiny entitled little b***h of a millennial. I realize that wanting something means working to achieve it, and not expecting it be handed to me. At the same time I have the brains and wherewithal to realize the US has become a place where this is now much harder to achieve, because our government has been bought and paid for by industry a long time ago. This life shit really isn’t that hard to figure out. Go to work, save your money, spend on things you enjoy when you can. If you can manage to get a wife (done) and have kids (not for us) then you’re pretty much set. Go see what’s left of the natural world before you die, gg.

          Sorry but in 99% of cases that's a cope. Such behavior/habits can be overwritten. In the case of something as mundane as browsing a basket weaving forum, they might not even have to be, provided you keep your browsing in moderation, as with everything else.
          But the "pull yourselves by the bootstraps" shit works for almost everyone. It's just that not everyone wants to do it because it requires effort.

    Most boomer parents fricked up, but I think it is largely a failure of the society that their culture created that has broken the millennial generation. My parents were great, but I still have fricked up siblings and cousins that got poisoned by ideas taught to them in school or by shithead friend groups. Parenting is important, but if you raise your kids in a shitty world they can still be taken from you by outside evils.

        Because the rewards aren't there. You're marginally better off working 40 hours than doing nothing on welfare but most will still never be in a position to purchase a home, raise a family or do anything other than purchase more crap you don't need for your shitty apartment. Where's the incentive?

                Where do you live?
                Median house price in my country is $1 million. Median salary is $51k before tax. After tax that's around $44k. Average fixed mortgage rate is 6.71%. If you don't have parents able to assist you with a deposit you're out of luck and priced out of the market.

          True. My boomer dad is a great guy, very disciplined and common sense type. He's now in his 60s and working the same shit job that he was 20+ years ago, with no upward mobility or retirement in sight.
          I've managed to skate by on part-time jobs, barely making rent in LA and I was even living out of my car at one point, but I live cheaply and I don't have a family to support, and now I'm on the verge of becoming a pro screenwriter at 33. If I got locked into 40+ hours of wagie work and started a family, it probably would've never happened. Taking the voluntary poverty pill and having your own goals outside of work can pay off a lot more in the long run than having that consistent weekly check.

    We’re not going through a physical war we’re going through a spiritual war

    We’ve lost the sense of working for things. I used to be excited waiting for movies to come out in the cinema, the release of a new CD or saving up to go to the store and buy a new physical release of video games

    Instant access and gratification has destroyed the reward centres in our brains, we don’t look forward to things we really like because we have instant access to a million things we don't really

    We can’t see the wood for the trees, we’re distracted and have lost all focus

    Throw in that we are losing ownership; buying a property is harder, you can’t fix a car yourself anymore so there’s no incentive to learn or achieve, and we don’t value music because instead of a $10 physical record which you get out its sleeve and look after, we have $10 subscriptions to things we can access but don’t truly own and haven’t earned

    We don’t see how our vocation contributes to our community, the rise of tertiary sector and working for conglomerates has taken away ownership of our work, there’s a disconnect between our work and the end product and there’s no such thing as “completion” anymore as we’re forced to accept never ending multitasking as the norm

    It’s sad, very sad

      If you make something instantly available and cheap you won’t cherish or appreciate it so art and media has become devalued and people can’t sit and listen to music or watch a movie without playing on their phone and wonder why they feel unfulfilled

      A million channels and nothing on versus going to the rental and watching the movie twice before you return it because hell vhs tapes were expensive

      There is something special about going to the record store and asking the guy who works there to recommend “music like this album” and taking that CD home; there’s a trio outdoors, a human interaction, discovery and a purchase instead of drowning in information alone in your bedroom and bookmarking tracks you’ll lose unless you pay a subscription forever

            Anon you don’t have to teach yourself EVERYTHING.

They think they should not have to learn anything at school cause school is mostly bullshit (this might be true but you’re still a moron and if you can’t read or do math). They think they should be able to do drugs and drink without consequence because the war on drugs is bullshit (this might be true but you basically become a moron by being an alcoholic or junkie). They think they can and should have as much casual sex as they want because traditional Christian religious modesty is bullshit (this might be true but having a child at 15 that you then neglect is moronic). It’s like they’re completely incapable of decoupling societal criticism from complete indulgence in every single vice because dopamine feels nice until it doesn’t anymore.

    While it is 100% true that boomers had unprecedented levels of wealth access to the levers of power and squandered it like morons on cars vacations and other nonsense luxuries, everyone alive now would have made the exact same mistakes if roles were reversed. You are equally moronic if you spend your free time and energy lamenting how you do not live in the best of all possible worlds. Yes, the wave broke and is rolling back, but we still live in a time arguably better that almost all of human canon after those despicable boomers and cynical gen xers. It is functionally useless to complain you missed the peak, or pretend you would have known better. Hindsight is 20/20. Just be all-terrain smart and capable, and look out for number one and the people closest to you. If it bothers you that much throw your parents into a nursing home and don't make their mistakes again so the next generation doesn't do it to you.
