> It feels as if everyone is calming their kids with opiates and Xanax, and no one bats an eye because that's what everyone else is doing. Hot take: as a millennial, I feel like our entire generation is overall failing as parents. The average parent is incredibly conflict-averse but also thoroughly wired for paranoia. So the end result is that children often have no discipline/structure in their lives, but they also have no freedoms. Their parents give them a phone with unlimited Youtube, but they aren't allowed to have friends. They never get spanked but they are always grounded. They don't sit down and eat meals as a family, but they follow a strict allergen-controlled diet because of a weird rash they had once in third grade. Not to say that this generation of kids is going to turn out any worse than any other, but the way that Millenials blame Baby Boomers for all of their problems as adults is going to look cute in comparison.
