Whenever this subject comes up in conversation, I go immediately to my nephew's life. He's 30 now. and while at his heart he's a good man, he is so spoiled and entitled that I find it hard to resist slapping the crap out of him sometimes. His parents and his grandparents gave him everything conceivable that an upper-middle-class family can give an only child. Clothes and shoes that would make an Italian runway jealous, a car at 16, another car at 18, and a full-ride master's degree. Never was he required to lift a finger to help on the family farm, because he learned very quickly that if he screws stuff up, he won't be asked to do it again. Was never asked to get a job during this period of his life to help support his partying lifestyle, and his apartment, during college, because they wanted to make sure he concentrated fully on his education. As everything seems to have come very easy for him, he scored a good job right out of college, and recently bought a house. But the entitled attitude continues. His grandmother runs the road back and forth to his house to take care of his dog, to do his household chores, and to take care of every little problem that comes up in baby's life. And he EXPECTS this. It's infuriating to watch, and unfortunately I think this is how a majority of society is raising their kids. Not much you can say about it other than thank them for raising entitled a-holes for society to deal with. This is the situation that gave Millennials, and their descendants, their reputation.
