This is just so untrue, and so unfair. It's the "get off my lawn" attitude that causes some of the younger folks to have an attitude of scorn against their elders.

It's even worse when it's "most of their generation is....[insert pejorative here] EXCEPT for my special snowflake grandkids, who are practically perfect in every way."

Here's a clue. Your kids weren't saints. Neither are your grandkids, and neither were you. Not even if you lived an Opie life in Mayberry, or everyone you've known all your life has called you Pollyanna.

The #1 source of influence a child has, is his or her parents. And those parents' #1 source of influence is their parents. So if you see a bunch of self-entitled miserable kids, take a look at their parents. And remember those parents are YOUR kids' generation.
