[quote=Anonymous]I'm Gen X with Silent Generation parents. I was complaining about millennial parents recently, and my college-aged son made some mocking comment and added his 2 cents - that their entitled behavior is because they are DC-area professionals and not because they are millennials. I think maybe he's right, and I've just managed to find a friend group that's really grounded. As for my parenting, I am NOT a helicopter parent, but I still do a lot more for my kids than my parents did for me (looking for camp opportunities, help with homework, etc.). I'm not super-strict, I let my kids make mistakes, but I don't hand them everything, either. For example, they had to pay for their phones themselves with money they earned from jobs, I didn't provide them with phones. [/quote]
