> I think millennials might be quite a case study on bad parenting, because Gen Z are literally turning out to be bad apples. Gen Z are the kids of Gen X, not

  Thanks for correcting. Gen X gets the least amount of flak compared to boomers, millennials and Gen Z, so that is interesting. It’s not easy raising kids for sure, but it’s almost like you have to be callous to not understand what kinda rat race the working world can be, and how hyper competitive even the shittiest of jobs are. Why are these values not being passed down? Usually, children of working immigrants see how hard their parents or people in their community work in jobs. Are Gen X so well off in middle management somewhere that their kids casually believe it’s aright to sack someone’s livelihood for their political beliefs? Do we need to take Twitch and Phones away from these idiots and have them go work in the gig economy like a dog for a bit?

    I would say there has to be some mandatory parenting classes you have to take before getting married/having kids, just like driving and driving school. The vast majority of people know fuckall about parenting, and in turn raise disfunctional kids that know nothing about proper parenting, and the cycle continues. Intervention is needed, in the form of teaching better parenting.
