The Boomers Strange Childhood

I’m working on a new book called America’s Lost Generation and I’m writing my own generation, the Millennials. We’re the butt of jokes on TV, in media, and in general society. We’re portrayed as molly-coddled, entitled brats who think they deserve everything in life. So I was pleasantly surprised when this random video came across my feed because of my related research on the book. Much of what the Millennials are accused of the Boomers are guilty of in spades. In this 1989 video, the parents of the Boomers talk frankly about their kids and where they think they went wrong with them. Bear in mind, these are people who grew up in the Depression and survived the war to come back and create the largest generation in US history. I will be posting more videos from this channel because the stuff you learn is absolutely fascinating.
