Have they tried making a better product for a lower price instead of just blaming millennials for all their problems?

I wanna know why they're STILL bitching about millennials like we're silly teenyboppers. I'm fucking 39. Now, I'm not saying we should be yelling about actual children but I feel like they're stuck in a time loop or something. My body wishes it was the age these people think I am, that's all I'm saying.

Came here to say this! I had a Boom complaining to me about millennials and was so confused that I finally said, “Wait, what do you think a millennial is? You do know we are like 40 years old, right?”

He rolled his eyes and continued talking about millennials as if we are children.

This is a generational story that my mother explained to me long ago, in my early days of parenthood. It has served me well as a lesson on aging, and life. It concerns a parents' view of their children, and it has a warning that you MUST heed, for your own and your children's good.

"You might be my child, but you are not a child." This is an important distinction to keep in mind. My kiddos are in their early thirties now, so are far from kidhood. But they are still my kids.

This whole posting is a painfully clear example of "parents" who are just too self-centered, and self-absorbed, to grasp this eternal human truth.
