There are very few things that make me cringe with my generation. The inability to ask questions or stand up for yourself is one that is just pathetic.

It's not a generation thing. It's an upbringing thing.

My sons are 37 and 35. Each have a son and a daughter. Each will ask us advice and ask me help with fixing or building things. Other than that, they fend for themselves. They were raised to be self-sufficient, which too many kids now aren't.

All they know how to do is blame my generation-----------a bunch of pusillanimous I tell ya.

Come, on. You know as well as I do that we ruined the world.

To each his own I suppose. But I can't say I own a pair.

Wanna see an email that nearly every manager at UPS got?

Oh that idiot. I read a little bit then was just like this is a waste of my time.

Nuts?

Those hair plugs you got last week are really coming in nice. Looks like a checkerboard

Most parents want their kids to have it easier than they did growing up.

My view is we've reach a point where most kids don't benefit from an easier upbringing than their parents.

It's went from having it easier meant a better chance to succeed. To now it means kids are spoiled rotten.

I'm willing to bet someone said that 20 years ago. And 20 years before that.

Everyone always thinks the generation or two after them is weak compared to them. There is some truth to that on a scale. The problem is the scale has slid a long ways.

Social media is either handcuffing or guilting many parents into erroring on the side of caution.

It's a joke from a news story a few months back. Something along the lines of millennials can't afford homes because they eat avocado toast. (Yeah, that's the only reason.)

And you should try it, it's delicious
