   Boomers fall into two camps:

   "haha screw YOU entitled brats, you're lucky I let you loaf around here 'til 18, don't whine that I'm spending my mom's inheritance on the disney cruise company!!!!"

   or

   "....yeah, to be honest my knees feel like a sack of chicken bones in hot sauce, but I gotta keep workin' or else nathan and sarah won't be able to finish college. I feel bad, but they just can't get a leg up in life....the world's gone to shit, I gotta do what I can, we all got it rough..."

   I don't see a whole lot of in-between, they're either loyal to their family or deadset against them

     I know guys whose parents are on both sides. That one kid who got disowned STILL hasn't cleaned up his act, he's just fucking around even after he got a blank check to straighten out and fly right.

     He tried bitching to me and it actually pissed me off, his parents came back to the table to help him out of the hole he dug for himself and he's STILL dragging his feet on not being a fuckup. Before, his parents were in the wrong, now he is.

     @McMongoose I think telling kids they're "gifted" is poison, apparently the whole scheme is damaging. If school is easy then they don't know how to work, so when the difficulty curve spikes they just give up and run away

     It's kinda astonishing how people fuck up raising their kids, it really isn't THAT hard, guys :0010:
     
     Your own shortfalling will obviously show but they can be fixed unless you're a serial killer or a junkie...

     @WashedOutGundamPilot @McMongoose Being able to easily bang out academic work designed for crack baby Tyrone isn't "gifted", it's just being normal. The whole "gifted and talented" program is about giving a shiny trophy to kids who have activist parents who would normally demand more from the system.

     @caekislove @McMongoose Today's gifted student is roughly on par with a C+ kid in 1960
