Generational Parenting Critiques: Millennial vs. Boomer
A therapist created TikTok videos critiquing millennial and boomer parenting styles. Millennials responded with gratitude and openness, while boomers lashed out with defensive and inappropriate comments. The therapist realized they had unintentionally conducted a social experiment, highlighting the emotional repression and shame-proneness of boomers. They aimed to show boomers how their coping styles could harm their relationships with their adult children and encouraged them to change. The therapist emphasized the need for support and resources for boomers to improve their parent-child connections.
