There are some good boomers.

The generation as a whole, though, has been a case of helicopter parenting which has turned into Congress looking like a vampire clan haunt.

What other generation has clung to government positions for 40+ years and still has the gall to try and run for President?

The simple answer is that boomers have only held a condescending view toward younger generations and they abaolutely refuse to vote for them.

Or the system has been so rigged that we are looking at a vampire clan.

But take your average boomer, and he thinks the financial woes of the younger generations are down to that generation being incompetent rather than the result of nearly a century of mortgaging the nation on the backs of future generations.

To play kind of petty and throw a second opinion up:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helicopter_parent

The term helicopter parent has its origins in the parenting style of baby-boomers. Generally speaking, the boomers (at least in many urban and suburban areas) tend to be of the assumption that their children will fail without them. There is a condescending opinion which views the younger generations as irresponsible and incompetent - unable to function, were it not for the boomer being the 'adult' in the situation.

My parents were technically boomers as well, and they did not fit the mold. I did see it among other families as I got older, though - and have noticed it prominently on facebook. Boomers on facebook think they are carrying the world and the younger generations will fail. They desperately cling to power and station and have perpetually refused to allow the younger generation opportunities -to- grow up and inherit those stations.

No, the children and grandchildren of my generation will, hopefully, have it the best ever.

My generation is a wreck. Women entering their 30s childless and with no idea how to partner for the family they (secretly) want (due to years of subversion during school). Exceptionally low property ownership rate.

Realistically speaking, the dreams many in my generation had when we were in our gradeschool years and teens, even if practical in our parents' youths, are mathematically beyond reach. Hopefully, we will not become vicarious and try to impose those dreams on our children - assuming we can recover fast enough to have them.

Perhaps some medical breakthroughs will give us a bit longer to not have an entire generation of sterile women…

But I would prefer to not turn around into "now it's our turn!" - because that would just be shoving the young out of the way to try and have ours first.

Unless we have the cure for aging and will be the first immortal generation or something…. That will come with all manner of crazy, though. Imagine living in a world where someone two hundred years old is physically in their 20s… Living alongside 20 year olds.
