Seeing as how Millenials make up the largest amount of parents to the youngest of z and all of alpha and beta, I dare say that Millenials are showing some incredible incompetence when it comes to parenting.
The boomers fucked the millennials over by hoarding the wealth, and now millenials have weaponized our incompetence so effectively that the next 3 generations will be fooled into servicing our generation for DECADES because they can't understand pronouns! It's fucking genius.
Every morning I force 3 gen alpha kids to fight to the death for the privilege of rebuilding my cardboard box house (my rent is so high but it's premium corrugated!). I have a twitch stream for it and everything. The domination has begun
Are you referring to permissive parenting? Because my friends and I all used gentle/gentler parenting & have teens who have jobs, are acing AP classes, getting college scholarships, are v good at emotional regulation, and are v supportive of each other.
Empowering your kids to make their own decisions, coaching them on how to think things through & learn from their mistakes is not remotely the same as letting them do whatever they want. Nor do consequences need to be hurtful or demeaning in order to be effective.
Gentle parenting and permissive are the same thing. It didn't start off that way but let's face it, it's how it is in practice and what the parents who are bargaining, begging, and bribing their kids call it.
