    Basically you’re saying that Mother Nature pioneered the Gen-X style of parenting?

    Edit: I meant to say the parents of Gen-X’ers (Boomers), and not to infer it was the Gen-X’ers themselves. My apologies.

      How is Gen X getting blamed for that?

      Helicopter parenting was just something boomers did because they tend to like micromanaging and assume they’re the smartest ever.

      Pretty much every generation (in America at least) that wasn’t raised by boomers was “free range”.
