[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It figures that the "everyone gets a trophy" generation would want both a trophy for choosing to be a mother and to dictate how people interact with them in public. [/quote]

You know what’s funny? Everyone accuses Gen X and/or Millennials of being the “everyone gets a trophy generation,” but who do you think was giving out the trophies, dude? BOOMER PARENTS! LOL, this one never fails to make me giggle. It’s not like an 8yo in 1988 was presenting herself with a trophy. Get it yet? [/quote]

You really don't know what you are talking about. Gen X didn't get jack. Do you even know an actual Boomer? What is with this hatred of boomers? It is fascinating to see actual adults still acting like children when it comes to those older than them. I mean why not just type "you can't tell me what to do! You're not my dad!!!" As a Gen Xer it is both concerning and laughable. [/quote]

I’m Gen X, and my parents are Boomers. I was on swim team, everyone bought a trophy, so you can’t tell me our generation “didn’t get jack.” We also got certificates for being in every little thing. [/quote]

Not my experience - but my parents are silent generation.  Gen X didn't get much.  I wouldn't say nothing because I think I did get 1 trophy that was more tied to participation than accomplishment.     But 1 trophy one's entire childhood isn't much. [/quote]
