Anonymous Coward User ID: 77889465 United States 08/01/2020 10:05 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I mean, you're not wrong. As a millennial, with my own family now, I can say that my childhood and growing up didn't exactly give me the concept of a real family. You see, both my parents worked to provide me with a great lifestyle. We went on vacations, I was in sports, the whole nine yards. Sounds picture perfect. Except that my father would work 12 hour days from the time I was old enough to remember, until the day I moved out of the house. This didn't leave time for my Father to teach me... Well... Anything. Thus, while I had my father in my life, he wasn't exactly around to be a role model. My parents were extremely materialistic, had to have the nicest house, new cars, awesome vacations, etc. The American Dream. This meant my parents were always working, rather than say... Spending time teaching the kids how to change the oil in a car, how to cook, what it means to be a man, etc. Middle class parents have been trusting the public school systems and cable television to not only babysit, but educate and mold the minds of their children. To me, this was a basis of how NOT to be a parent. Thus, once I started my own family, I made sure that my son knew - He and his future are my top priorities. We may not have the biggest house or go on sweet vacations every year, but I get to spend time with my son on a daily basis and have a hand in shaping his future. So while I agree, Millennials have no concept of family, unfortunately that has a lot to do with how they were brought up, how their families functioned, etc. If they've never experienced the concept of Family, how would they hold that concept as knowledge? |

Quoting: BFD Divorced parents is common in my generation. True. I think that 1) divorced parents and 2) anti-family marxist programming in schools are the two biggestcultural cancers destroying millennials. Divorce is VERY destructive for children. Because of divorce, kids dislike and distrust their parents, and this attitude spreads to all the children around them -- like a parent hating virus. |

They flitter their money away like it grows on trees and act irresponsibly.

It was a combination of feminism and consumerism. It fragmented families and here we are. I do believe it was totally by design. These monsters have been planning this thing for a long time. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78471573 The Powers That Be used inflation so that many mothers could not afford to stay home and not work. This is how they got mothers working full time while putting their children in daycare centers ten to twelve hours a day. The rise of greedy consumerism made people feel the need for much bigger houses with more rooms than could ever be used, as the a status symbol of their success. |
