Well, the _real_ problem isn't just that they've been raised in a way that leads to entitlement, but that what they have been taught to feel entitled to was actually a pipe dream. While the boomers were all busy buying property and starting businesses, they were also unwittingly making it impossible for their descendants to do the same (or to the same extent) whilst in the same breath telling them (perhaps in honest belief) that they too could have anything they wanted. Setting the bar so high makes even slight failures hit that much harder.
