The article discusses the generational shift in parenting styles, particularly how millennials are pushing back against the authoritative and dismissive nature of boomer parents. Many millennials are no longer tolerating behaviors rooted in the 'because I said so' mantra characteristic of boomer parenting. This shift involves setting firm boundaries and sometimes cutting off contact to ensure respect. The piece explores the irony of boomer parents being upset about these boundaries while having historically disregarded their children's thoughts and feelings.
Because I said so," exemplifies outdated boomer parenting attitudes that dismiss children's emotions, while millennials are pushing back by establishing boundaries with their parents.
Boundaries for me and not for thee, it seems! Millennial children are refusing to tolerate their parents’ outdated parenting styles, leading to firm boundaries.
The generation of 'because I said so' parents is so mad that their adult children are holding boundaries.
Their issue is that they still see us as children and not as adults.
