[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a nanny and a millennial and there’s some truth to this.

Millennials have done a 180 from their Boomer parents strict Authoritarian, hands off, corporal punishment parenting by being overbearing, coddling permissive parents.

And no, the answer isn’t to spank or hit your children.

Many millennial parents co-opted Gentle Parenting and misunderstood it and became very passive and permissive parents.  No boundaries, no rules, no expectations.  They think to have happy, well-rounded kids you must make sure you meet every wish and need and destroy any potential struggle or obstacle that may be in your child’s path.  (Look up snowplow parenting).  These parents have the best of intentions, but end up raising miserable, lazy,   :?: :?:disregulated children.

Of course this is not all millennial parents, probably not even close to most. But it’s a significant enough of a problem that people notice.  Especially those who work with these families and children (teachers, coaches, therapists).

I’ve seen it with many families but not all.  But it seems like every generation is going to f___ up their kids in some way. [/quote]

If you’re a nanny why are you in the parenting forum?  :?: [/quote]

Believe it or not, we are allowed to have our own children as well. [/quote]
