There is enough information in the paper and in the news to know that the parents are partially to blame . They allowed him to continue to live in their home rent free and then he wasn't working ; they kept asking/ begging him to get a job - he refused then they decided not to kick him out until he was thirty LMAO . my parents would NEVER put up with that bullshit. Everyone in my house had to work - if you weren't working you were in school & when you weren't in school you were contributing to the household by paying rent. Sorry no handouts over here and I am a millennial. I am just saying we can NOT group all millennials together , its WRONG. If you want something to compare it to - its like saying all OLD people cant drive.... get it? its not cool.
Life of a millennial. Lol!
- Thread starter franci
- Start date
Let's agree to disagree on who is at fault. As for parenting, let's just say, you need to be one to fully understand.
I'm sure not all millennials are like this guy. But there are more than a few. I employee a few of them. Let's just say that they require extra motivation when it comes to working. The other day one of them used the "it's not in my job description" line to which I replied neither is coming in at 9:30 and leaving at 4 pm. She quickly got the hint when she knew her habits were noticed.
Anyways, I need to get back to work myself. Enjoy your day!
Go to a construction site. Look around and you will see some millennial apprentices. Those guys and gals are coming out of high school, getting up early and working hard. Universities are not in jeopardy of closing down..... sure some are studying beer pong but others are going to be running things.
If you want to find losers you don't have to restrict yourself to millennials.
My buddy had a bottle of Dom set aside for the day when he no longer had to pay spousal support.
There are plenty of words to describe these kinds of people so it's not exactly a new phenomenon.
Even if we set all that aside and assume this is new thing then we have shitty parents to thank for this. So us older folk shouldn't be so smug as we may have created/enabled the problem.
Take a step back from rules and work ethic. Look at the economics of being a millennial.... their cost of education and housing is crippling.

I think this is what you're getting at:
Parents in 1990:
Don't take candy from strangers.
Parents in 2020:
Spit is a great lubricant
Indeed. Every woman in his life works for him - his ex pays the childcare and raises the kid, his girlfriend provides the pussy, and his mom provides shelter and food. That's how male lions live.
Why would he give all that up to break his back working for a living?
loll something like that. More like
Parents in 1990:
Don't take candy from strangers
Don't get into cars or talk to any strangers
Come in as soon as those lights come on ! don't make me come out to get you!
Do your homework and then you can go outside!
Parents in 2020:
Yes dear you can have a ipad
If you have sex make sure you use a condom!
You can stay out as long as you want
Go out with your friends- your homework can wait
Generations change all the time . However If and when I have kids I will probably follow the same set of rules that my parents gave me to me. Which was rules that taught me valuable life lessons. I am surprised at how young some of these kids are and how much technology their parents allow them to have. Kids nowadays do not know what it is like to play outside unless they are at school and outside during recess.

But sadly many people on social assistance are just like this guy. And we tolerate it.
That's sad. But the best thing your Mom can do here is to boot him out. She's enabling his irresponsible behavior.
I have two millennial children. Both have worked from the time they turned 16 (both with smaller jobs earlier actually). They manage their money well, are extremely good students, self motivated. My daughter is very artistically gifted and my son is very athletic. My daughter just got engaged, nice kid finishing his 3rd yr of Med School.
Their generation is less materialistic and more experience oriented. That said, as a gross exaggeration, every generation of geezers complains about “kids these days”. I think this generation will do just fine.

This generation like the ones before and the ones that come after will all be fine. My generation (Gen X) was the first generation that was supposed to be worse off than their parents according to many yet that never materielized and I as well as many of my friends are a lot better off.
The guy in the post will represent some, but obviuosly not all lazy asses in the world. But like the saying goes, "one bad apple...."
Millennials are not as flippant as some would have you believe.
Anyone born after 1995 is going to inherit an environmental shit show created by greedy Boomers. As Pete Townsend said "they're not gonna take it". This will be the first of many, get used to it.

I used to love this song, now it leaves a bitter aftertaste:
