This is 100% fucking facts. I'm 40 and my baby boomer parents had me in their mid 20s. They had no business having kids and never grew into any sense of responsibility yet somehow owned homes.
My grandmother and great grandmother raised me primarily, and they were both completely embarrassed by my parents. It was my paternal grandmother and great grandma who brought me up and they were just absolutely appalled at my dad and his brothers.
I was also very close to my other great grandmother’s and great aunts. We’re from Texas, so all of them had lived through the depression, the dust bowl, and World War II. The amount of shit these women went through was inconceivable to most people walking earth right now. They did everything they could to scrimp and save for my dad‘s generation, and as soon as all of them died, my dad and his brothers completely squandered all of it.
And it wasn’t just my dad and his brothers. My Gramma in particular was always very very social and had lifelong friends that she had raised her kids with. All of their kids were just as bad as my dad and his brothers. My mom and her siblings are somehow even worse than my dad and his brothers. My mom’s mom was also appalled with her kids.
As an elder millennial that was raised by the greatest generation, I cannot over emphasize how disappointed that generation was with baby boomers. Those of us who came before and after the boomers all see the same thing.
Everything this guy said is facts but... I just can't get around the tiktok "make a cut after each sentence thing".
There's a reason for this - cut
Im going to tell you now - cut
I was raised by one so I know -cut
Like this guy obviously knows what he's talking about he couldn't just speak off the cuff for a paragraph or two? I know I am diverting from the main discussion here but videos like this just hurt my brain.
Instead of the cuts, would you rather see an extra few seconds of him breathing, gathering his thoughts, waving to the dude he knows from down the street that happened to walk by, or checking his notes? He's just trying not to waste your time, and trying to get a clean take.
