How will the "Baby Boom" generation be remembered?

43. As a midwest genxer I've watched the Boomers grow old

In general, they really lack emotional intelligence. They divorced quickly and probably remarried too quickly as well. They are tone deaf on racial issues. They did a poor job of managing their finances. They were a mix bag as parents. I think, more than their parents, they tried to make their children feel loved and showed more affection. Fathers were more involved with their kids. But because many families couldn't make ends meet or because of divorce, both parents worked and left their children to fend for themselves. The good part is that genxers are typically independently minded individuals. The bad news is that as a generation we aren't as empathetic as we could be.
