Why do y'all keep saying this?
I think Helicopter parenting really didn't start until the same time participation trophies and special snowflakes became a thing. Around the year 2000 or so.

I would trust an older "fat guy or gal" rather than a "millennial or later" for job performance.

I never said who invented them. I was stating when helicopter parenting really took off.
Either you can't read or you're being purposely obtuse just to try to get in you really cool and super funny monument joke.

I am a boomer and from coaching youth sports for almost 20 years, I never endorsed the concept of "participation trophies".

Yeah I never had participation trophies. I don't think I've ever seen them outside of internet chatter and memes tbh. I had a couple friends with overbearing parents, but it wasn't the norm at all.

I graduated HS in '98 and remember them really becoming very common a few years later.

Also, calling me a she is so boomer of you.
How could I possibly know what sex you are? I was just basing it off of your OP. It was so confusing and hysterical sounding that I just went with the obvious. I'm further guessing you were breathing a little hard and trembling as you typed it...
There, there, young fella.

You got a link to some data that backs up that BS you just pulled out of your arse?

What an arse you are to generalize...my oldest son is 38 and wouldn't dare to call himself a millennial because that term means you suck!!
Posted on 1/20/20 at 10:54 am to floyd of pink
If so many thirty something millennials did not act like they were 13 it would be easier for boomers like myself to distinguish among the group
Posted on 1/20/20 at 10:55 am to floyd of pink
Ok Millennial...

The millennials that are over 32 are a world away from the ones that were too young to understand 9/11.

A lot of people are putting the current high school and college age kids in with millennials but they’re really gen z. Youngest millennials are in their mid to upper 20s now
