AYRT

For reference: I am on the slightly younger side of 40. I do think my experience was atypical (that I was the responsible one in my family even when I was a child), but from what I have seen/dealt with for and from people my parents' age, I honestly don't think their immaturity and lack of just general life skills, is atypical of Baby Boomers, in fact it seems to be a hallmark of their generation.

(I should also add that I am a PWD, physical ones, and dealt with that growing up too...thankfully I live in a country with socialized healthcare. I recognize there is totally a pecking order/disability hierarchy, and yeah, I am unfairly biased in my opinions re: mental illness as a disability, because of that.)

I don't know a lot of people my own age (in fact I don't have any friends my own age right now), so that's why I said I was talking out my hat, WRT how the Millennials have been raised. I have seen a lot of Millennials with severe entitlement issues, though, and I dread what the world will become, once they get out in it. Unless the world laughs, thumbs its nose, and crushes them like bugs, which would be even more unfortunate.

TL:DR; Anon's observations on life in the 21st century....
