Well idk if I would paint with that wide brush.
I would argue that Baby Boomers were the generation left almost completely alone during childhood because both parents worked with some working 2 jobs, are more focused, successful, and joy filled than any generation after us that were raised by helicopter parents.
Some of each group are strong and focused and some in each have been so coddled they may never be able to care for themselves.
I believe that as with everything else in life it is about balance.
I don't really think the determining factor is age group.
