Same here, my mother would drink and talk to me like I was her adult girlfriend. Telling me things a kid shouldn’t hear. I’m raising my kids so differently than I was raised its really strange. Gen X’ers grew up with almost NO parental supervision. It was fun but also really destructive.

The boomers are no different than any other generation. They might have gotten lucky to be born in the time and place that they did, but any generation would have turned out like the boomers had they grown up in the same conditions. If anything, we should learn from boomers and use them as an example for why you can’t spoil your children and give them everything. Struggle is necessary to create useful humans

[@zackg5046]

I used to pay my mom $300 per week to watch her grandchildren for 6 hours per day 5 days a week. After about 6 months of that, she started complaining that I was “taking advantage of her” and was unhappy with the situation. Only a Boomer would complain about spending time with their grandchildren while being PAID to do it.

[@truckerinsight1179]

George Carlin on Boomers: Whiney, narcissistic, self-indulgent people, with a simple philosophy: “gimme-it it’s mine”! “give-me-that it’s mine”! These people were given everything. Everything was handed to them, and they took it all. Took it all. Sex, drugs, and rock-n-roll. And they stayed loaded for twenty years, and had a free ride, but now they’re staring down the barrel of middle-age burn-out, and they don’t like it. They don’t like it so they’ve turned self-righteous, and they want to make things hard on younger people.

[@yQaT735M]

Yep. I'm glad people are noticing this. They are the most whiny, arrogant, and spoiled generation in American history. They literally blamed Millennials for the 2009 banking crisis. We were in high school at the time. Boomers never take responsibility for anything.

[@scottstarck293]

I'm a huge fan of Carlin, but his daughter called him the "ultimate laissez faire parent" and was just as much of the sex, drugs, and rock and roll turned self righteous culture as the people he complained about. I suppose the troll of Dillion's book is that a non-repentant-addicted-to-cocaine-sub-prime-mortgage-broker turned single man that drives a Bentley between his 5M+ estates in the Hamptons and Beverly Hills is complaining about the greed, excess, and selfishness of his parents generation.

[@Steve-ev6vx]

Carlin was a boomer... And they aren't middle age, the youngest ones are in thier late 60's. Middle age people are millennials.

[@angusdog22]

When Tim said “we were there to support THEM emotionally” I felt that. My mom is a boomer I’m Gen X and as a 10yr old she’d talk to me like I was her 35 yr old girlfriend. I love my mother but I really, really , really HATE the boomer generation. Tom Wolfe nailed it when he dubbed them the “ME” generation. As a result the Gen X generation were like feral children. Most of my childhood was unsupervised, which actually was kinda fun but didn’t help me get ready for life as a successful, well rounded adult. I kinda had to figure it out on my own.

[@mrpablomx]

[@Dex000x]

The greatest generation is the one that raised the worst generation in history.

[@bronsonbamnallen1633]

the generation that birthed the boomers

[@kate2create738]

The thing about the Greatest Generation is they EARNED that title, it was given to them by someone who was older than they were. They turned a economic collapsed isolated country into becoming the most influential and powerful society to have practically existed, while their goal in mind was to just survive either a harsh economy or the most vicious war ever. That generation sacrificed so much, and chances are they had their flaws too, in the end history proves that they contributed the greatest achievements imaginable. To think their kids nearly every decade had some influence that would backfire on the rest of the country, the world, other generations, all because of how many just became so entitled.

[@timmystool3349]

The reason all this is true is because they were the first generation to be given easy access to the “upper middle class” while being heavily brainwashed by corporate/global interests

[@dallasryder8125]

I mean, they barred minorities until the government stepped in(even then YMMV) from wealth. Now universally all races of younger people are getting “the boomer piglet dick”

[@umiluv]

This is true. The TV totally brainwashed them. They are an absolutely messed up generation.

[@johncharleson8733]

One of the several reasons, but a great observation nonetheless.

[@dasboot9471]

Very good point

[@Aloysius10]

Also most of those hippies were spoiled rich kids who went back to their old lives once they had fun.

[@tob855]

1000% accurate. The hippie generation was just an angry carnival of narcissism.

Or at least a reasonable place where you could start all over at a wage that wasn’t 50 percent of your rent!

[@AndrewReevesArt]

Yup - while most of our dads got shipped off to Vietnam they were smoking dope, screwing each others brains out and ruining their universities

[@angusdog22]

The greatest Generation got it wrong handing everything to Boomers. As a generation that lived through extreme poverty ( Great Depression) and a horrific world war it makes sense. They gave them everything they thought they wanted. But they got it wrong, the greatest gift you can give your kids is the confidence of self reliance, resilience and personal responsibility.

[@ryank6322]

That's what I was thinking. The greatest generation was too self-sacrificing and gave rise to a generation that never had to self-sacrifice at all.

[@Pangora2]

Any successful generation has to deal with how to hand off what was built up. It is their greatest failing that it happened like this. You have to hand down the morality to sustain things as well.

[@outbackfrank632]

This is such a fascinating topic that Tim has pioneered in recent years. A book or documentary on boomers and the effect on society to this day is absolutely needed.

[@genuineappeal3458]

The book that is needed is the effects WWII had on family dynamics. Unsupervised children in factory parking lots as Rosie built war machines to systematically murder people...that dysfunctional generation raised the boomers yet they are not held to account. The first generation to live on booze, pills, swinging, etc., were the parents of the boomers (Madmen era).

If your parents chose to live a certain life because they want to leave something for their kids, then fine. But there should be ZERO Expectation of doing so. It's great your parents help you when they can. But would you want them to deny themselves things just for a Nursing Home to get it all??

To watch politics deteriorate to the pandering to the 1% at the expense of everyone else is depressing. We thought we were going to have the most fair minded, equality driven, generous, magnanimous government ever. Instead, it has been the exact opposite. To watch our generation destroy the planet with impunity in the name of chasing a buck is depressing. We thought we were going to save the earth, instead we are full bore towards destroying it.

[@Sappmattnyc]

To fully understand the American Boomer you have to break it down into two groups. Early Boomers (those born in 1946-1954) and Late Boomers (1955-1964). The reason for this is the Vietnam Draft. The US government ended the draft in January 1973, when the Late Boomers started to turn 18. They were free from the threat of a draft, could still have a career with only a high school education, and college was relatively inexpensive for those that chose to go. Sure there was a gas crisis, high interest rates for a time, and a couple recessions here and there but nothing too scary aside from AIDS (but it was evident early on that it was mainly plaguing the gay community). Then they got to benefit from the boom years of the 80's and 90's. When they say younger generations are spoiled, they are mainly just talking about the internet and our gadgetry. All things they just wished they had when they were younger.

Only 1 in 10 men that came of draft age during Vietnam went. It was easy to evade the draft if you were smart, by getting overweight and out of shape, saying that you were gay or communist to the draft board, or any number of other things that could easily disqualify you. Everyone complained about it, but only the stupid and the poor went over because they didn't have any choice. The WW2 generation had the whole of society fighting the war because it was existential for the Free World, not just the poor and vulnerable like in Vietnam. It was a bunch of politicians' hobby projects instead of an existential threat.

[@MindPalaceGrowth]

Agreed, same exact situation. Left scratching my head, I was one of 5 adopted with them getting checks every month. I worked as a kid while I was with them in foster care for 5 or 6 year, then adopted...and again worked for them to pay my keep as they say. Still unhappy of the "burden" all of us kids were. We either served their purpose or ignored and deemed useless when we became 18. They kept controll by knowing all my fears, created new ones so I'd be afraid of independence, and used threats of abandonment if I didn't do what they wanted. All forms of control from a Narcissist whom I can tell they enjoyed my tournament. Gaslighting me all the way through young adult hood until I became wiser and had time to get distance from their toxicity. Once the checks stopped and they lost control over me, they lost interest as well. I do say that they did have good intentions along the way when they first adopted all of us kids. They helped pay for college and adopted me so I wouldn't be left to age out of the system. I learned a lot from life's challenges and traumas along the way and look back and feel greatful for learning those lessons and gaining wisdom so I can become a mindful parent. There's a lesson in all experiences, even the hardest ones. Yet it's good to remember that Hell is paved with good intentions too...

[@robinedwards8796]

I'm a young GenX who had a GenZ kiddo in her 30's. Kiddo is almost 12 years old now. My Boomer parents phoned it in. My only sibling (1yr younger) died in his early 20's train hopping and shooting dope like an old school hobo. I moved out at 17yrs old and tried to be a grown up without a blueprint. My life just kept going sideways. My parents split and partied and thought their job as parents ended when we turned 18. Jokes on them. I'm so fucked up I can't work. My kiddos dad has terminal cancer. He can't work. We're not even together. I broke up with him a few weeks before I found out I was pregnant. I now require help from both parents to survive. My dad drives my kiddo around because I don't have a car. I have 5 comorbid mental health diagnoses and counting. One of them is a personality disorder directly related to my fucked up childhood. I've had to devote my life to healing, mental health and addiction recovery, and whatever I can do to lessen the load on my kiddo, who has had to deal with far too much, and will inherit a dying planet. No fucking wonder that the Jungian shadow of GenZ is nihilism. So many in GenZ have fucked up, older parents from GenX who were never going to have kids cuz we didn't want to be our parents. Then we became our parents. And hated ourselves for it. So we spend the rest of our lives trying to change. Because the Boomers just said, "fuck it. I do what I want." Now, when asked why I don't focus on earning and focus on mental health, I tell those Boomers, "fuck it. I do what I need to because y'all did what you wanted." GenX is about accountability. That's why were overlooked and rarely mentioned. We'll call you and ourselves out. Liars and manipulaters don't like that...
