Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Are you a boomer or were you raised by a boomer because I call bullshit. The "me" generation could have done a lot of things and didn't do any of them.

Most of them don't actually love their children. Not the way we mean it today. The children were left to figure it all out on their own. Ask any gen X or older millennial.

Children weren't outside because people were less fearful, they were locked out of the house and forced to fend for themselves.

The only loving families for most were those portrayed in television.

That's ridiculous. As if anyone could gatekeep the concept of families loving their children, like it's a new thing recently invented.

You simply were not present to observe all of what you are assuming happened. I was present to observe many "boomer" parents providing a loving upbringing for their kids. They raised my generation, and I knew many of them.
