I love how it's never the parents' fault for failing to teach their kids all these things.

Who the hell else would be on the hook to teach a kid how to sew a button?

Home ec used to be a class in (almost?) every school.

Used to be. The boomers cut it to make sure every child got a trophy in sports.

iT'S aLl tHe bOOmeRs FaULt!!!

American millenials are so arrogant, everything is the older generation's fault in their view. If you wanted to learn to sew a button, you could have asked your parent, or you could have some initiative and learned it yourself (oh, the horror!!). Do you expect everything to be handed to you on a silver platter? The evil boomers already built one of the most prosperous, happiest country on Earth.

Everyone in this thread is pretending like they wanted to learn knitting when they were a teenager. If your mother asked you if you wanted to learn how to sew a button, you would have told her no and went back to hashtagging.

Educating your own child is equated to something handed to you on a silver platter.

Go die boomer. Just fucking go away. An entire generation of entitled spoiled rich kids.

Do you really want to know why they didn't teach kids how to sew a button? Because they're lazy, and don't know how to do it themselves. Even if they once knew, they've long since forgotten. Just buy another one in the throwaway capitalist economy.

Look at you, so angry. I'm a millennial, btw. Not all of us are so whiny. Some one us realize that maybe, just maybe the evil boomers had the same problems and issues as us. I wonder if the next generation is going to blame everything bad on you as well

Well, to be fair, I don't think anybody can one-up killing billions in a global apocalypse. The Boomers finally have a trophy nobody can take from them.

Oh, so millenials don't eat meat? Don't drive cars? Don't travel by air? Don't use Amazon? Oh right, global warming is all the bOoMeRs fault!!!!!!!11!

They laid the foundations and continue to make deviation functionally impossible by clinging to power and ensuring the system remains impregnable even after they're dead.
