This is some serious hubris, and ostensibly came from parents who never held their kids accountable for anything. Obviously I don't want to paint every kid and Millennial parent as irresponsible, entitled brats, but this was the prevailing behavior he told me he saw as a undergrad professor.
This is an evergreen tale. As a child, I heard these stories at the holiday table from family friends that were professors. I remember reading this stuff about my own generation in the 70s. I've seen the same story about every generation since. With all these generations of lazy, irresponsible, entitled brats, it's a wonder anything gets done at all.
