One thing that has always bugged me: if they were indeed “The Greatest Generation,” how did they raise so many lousy kids (60s kids/Baby Boomers)? Inquiring minds want to know.
The greatest generation spoiled their kids rotten. Think about it: you are in a fox hole, under fire, soaking wet, and eating dirt. You don’t wish for a McMansion, a 50 in plasma, or a 1200 sq. ft. SUV. You just wish for a quiet little home on a quiet little street with a loving woman and a couple of rugrats. You promise to live your life for the little woman and the rugrats– to do everything you can for them if you just make it out of hell alive.
You then make it out of hell alive, spoil your kids rotten, and get told that you don’t understand anything 20 years later. It is a little pathetic, actually
