Why does the younger DCUM majority hate Boomers so much?

[Anonymous]

The thread about the Worst Generation over on Family Relationships made me realize just how many GenX'ers and Millenials hate Boomers and wonder exactly why? Is this just a case of younger generations thinking they have the answers and resenting their parents' ways or is there more going on here? I realize the Boomer generation has made a lot of mistakes but I don't believe we are the entitled, selfish folks were are made out to be? What do others think?

I think it has to do with the fact that the Boomers took what the Greatest Generation gave them and fucked it all up with their selfish bullshit.

The one adage you're supposed to follow is leave the world a better place than when you found it.

Boomers failed at this.

Because the subsequent generations are paying for the mistakes of the Boomers. And the Boomers were handed a pretty awesome deal by the Greatest Generation. Yet screwed it up. Big time.

The Boomers are not the parents of Generation X.

This exactly. The Boomers are the most selfish generation of our time. What makes it so despicable for me is that they are the ones who hate the hardest on Millenials.

The funny thing is that many of the boomers are old and broke and rude.

Because we now have as adults the first generation not actually raised by their own parents but in daycare and we get to see how they feel about that, and them.

Boomers were born on third base, thinking they hit a triple. Toxic through and through.

My boomer parents are selfish and could give a crap about being good grandparents even though they have the time/money to be (just had baby, helped for a day). When we are old, my husband and I aspire to be more helpful and generous with our time.

This has to be the most entitled post I've ever read. "My parents are selfish because they won't help meeeeeeeeeee."

Not only did they left it a shithole but they talked the talk but didn't walk the walk. Their do good bullshit but only if it is convenient for them.
