Better, more insane? Who can say. Like I said, mine were 90s babies, born in 90, 92 and 94, so not even close to as entitled as the Gen Zs. I saw the trend and bucked.it because there was no way I was raising a spoiled. brat! The old school Black mama who raised me with a side of Jewish respect for education and achievement ...yeah, never gonna fly.

I help.my.middle.son back in grade 2 because he couldn't read. He was severely dyslexic. The school flipped.out. His feelings would be hurt...Yeah, well you know what else hurts feelings? Being 30 and unemployed because you can't fill out an application.

Guess what happened? Nothing. He repeated the 2nd grade and came out reading at a 9th grade level. He's a brilliant writer and a great young man now. Lord, I could go on for days!
