Controversial take: Boomers are/were the worst parents in history

They were overwhelmingly selfish, abusive (physically, emotionally), and often just absent, leaving the Millennials (their kids) to live as latchkey kids. Even with their children now being adults, they show the same awful personality traits with them as they did when their children were young. So nothing is redeemable. They're still just awful.

Obligatory disclaimer: of course not all Boomers were this way. I am speaking in terms of the general majority rule.

I don't think we'll be a terribly regretted generation...

That said, I don't think the boomer 'life experience' is homogeneous. A lot depended on where you were in the cohort, which covers twenty years. If you were in the older age groups, you came of age in the mid-60s, when there were plenty of jobs. If you were in the last few years, you came of age in the early 80s, which was very different!
