You know, I pay my own phone bill, but I don't really care if someone's mother paid their phone bill.
I can't understand articles like this one that want anything and everything to appear as a scathing indictment of millennials (or perhaps only millennials in the US).
Even if it were, so what? Parents don't live forever and if some are too dependent, they won't always have the luxury.
- icebraining 13y agoNothing in the post indicts millennials, and in the post linked by this one, they even say that millennials find themselves "screwed by financial storms caused by another generation".
- adregan 13y agoI am reading the title and the notion that "it's somewhat reasonable for your parents to pay your phone bill when you're a teenager. How about when you're a young adult" as slightly negative. As well as reading "Perhaps this is further evidence that in the US, millennials are pretty much screwed without the parental safety net?" as negative. While it's not an indictment per se, often these sentiments are indicative of an underlying "anti-millennial" thread. Perhaps I'm only projecting a subtext.
