I should rephrase the question asked in the title - what can possibly cause a parent to harbor hatred for their own offspring?

I'm in my mid 30's now. I'm a veteran of the American armed forces. Single father to a boy who lives with me. I understand how money works. I own a single family home in an average neighborhood, and I keep the place looking sharp. I have a disposable income, a modern muscle car, and I spend my days lifting at a good gym.

My father at the same age was more prosperous than I am, but he resented me for existing. Until I was 18, I was unknowingly the product of his choices - scrawny, fearful of the world, too timid to talk to women, and my clothes looked like my family could only afford to shop at Goodwill. I confronted him when I was successful at 30, and he defended himself by saying I had a sense of entitlement.

I believe I have narcissistic abuse syndrome, and he thinks it's funny.

I know I'm not the only millennial with this story, and I want to know why.

The boomers were the entitled ones. Good paying jobs right out of high school that you could raise a family on. Most women were respectable, unlike the thots of today.

Good luck with that now.

All those women topless at Woodstock? Are you talking about those women?

There was never a such thing as jobs you could support a family on out of high school. That's an urban legend manufactured by lazy fucks who don't want to have to put in their dues doing the shit work for shit pay like all the rest of us had to.

Our Boomer parents lived in a 800 sq ft home and drove a single used car. They vacationed at a local place 2 hours away once a year, at most. They avoided debt like the plague. If they didn't have cash for it, they didn't buy it.

That's a huge part of how they "made it work."

Millennial dummies simply don't get this.

Agree on the women. Boomer men lost control of their women (for the first time in history) and they proceeded to begin fucking over the world. Boomer moms are some of the most selfish people the world has ever created. First generation to despise their kids and try to get them out of the house as soon as possible.

That's the cancer of feminism. It is truly corrosive. It's like crack, though. The idea that one's circumstances can be blamed on somebody else is very appealing and seductive because it means your situation isn't your fault, and therefore there's nothing for you to do about it.

Gen X bitches.

You are way off.

Baby boomers were born between 1946 and 1964. Gen X was born between 1965 and 1979/80 Gen Y, or Millennials, were born between 1981 and 1994/6 Gen Z is the newest generation, born between 1997 and 2012

Making me suspect you are a Millenial and you are crying about your GRANPARENTS.

Yep. All those little "ok boomer" millennial and zoomer faggots have no idea that Generation X exists.

You're incorrect:

Boomers -> 1940 to 1960 Gen X -> 1965 to1980 Millennials -> 1980 to 1995 Zoomers -> 1995 to 2010 or 2020

The failures and degeneracy of the millenials were a mirror held up in the face of the boomers reminding them of what they enabled and created.

E: Maybe more toward your question, the boomers were targeted heavily with the muh career, muh toys, muh debt, muh retirement propaganda. They were told that all of those things trumped the traditional family unit and upholding and passing on a pure moral code. They believed all the lies and it was easily profitable for them to do so. They were told that children were a burden and in many ways they believed it. So some of them hate their own children both because the responsibility of raising kids took away from all the treats the jew dangled in front of them and because once the following generations began to implode, the boomers would have to accept that they were fooled.

They failed to recall this passage in Psalm 127:

3 Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.

4 As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.

5 Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.

You've nailed the problem. Boomers don't hate Millennials, we hate ourselves for believing the indoctrination until it was too late to repair the damage.

"Profitable" wasn't a choice. We were given a single white collar path - either take it or never be able to afford near the lifestyle our Silent generation parents expected of us. Decent paying blue collar jobs were already destroyed the time boomers came of age, so many stampeded into technology and its salaried, at will, five years and gone 60+ hour weeks. At the same time medical and housing expenses soared (yay 14% mortgage interest) and two earner families became standard just to put food on the table and roof over the head. Boomer men were indoctrinated into believing toys were proof of manhood, boomer women told that we must wait or never have children or risk losing our husband. Only the laziest of women stayed home - even female comics joked relentlessly about the useless role of "housewife".

Through the 80's and 90's housing bubbles with "free money" equity loans destroyed many boomers who used them to achieve the aura of success that movies, news, advertising and society said was necessary for happiness. I don't know many boomers sitting on piles of money and most of them are still working into their retirement years.

Anyone of any generation who doesn't understand that this is a long term war against Western civilization is living in a black hole of ignorance. Further frustration is added by watching young people fall under the same destructive influences. The story has changed ("education" now provides the ruinous debt) while the final effect is the same. Destruction of another Western generation.

(for OP) So sorry that you think your father was rough - but the most difficult thing to say to your children is "no". Would you have been successful if you had a cushy, no knock life? Most successful people I've known came up from adversity. Most failures I've met were third generation trust fund turds.

Outch... That hit home, particularly the part about thrift-store clothing. Except it was 15 for me when I finally annoyed/cajoled/bothered them enough to let me get their permission to get an after school job. Bought my own clothing so I didn't have to go to school looking like a hobo, started lifting. That summer I worked every hour they'd let me and lifted 4 days a week. By the beginning of the next year I was a completely different person, some people from school didn't even recognize me at first. (As an aside, newb gainz when you're a teenage hormone factory are the best you'll ever get. It's like being on gear with no side effects)

Teach your son's to lift, and buy them decent looking clothing. People can and do judge books by their cover.

TL;DR: jews

The jews leveraged their victory in Europe and massive influence in the US government in to getting the worlds first massive scale propaganda system implemented against the Germans. This was highly successful in destroying Germany and in the 50s, just as the Boomers were being born, it was turned against the US.

A TV set in every home spewing non-stop jewish propaganda was not enough. The jews got the government to finance an produce propaganda that was pushed on school children. There was pushback from McCarthy and others, but the jews won and managed to replace healthy propaganda with destructive shit.

The boomers themselves were not entitled as many have claimed. What they had was unlimited opportunity. They did not have affirmative action and race quotas holding them back. They could work their way up from the mail room to be CEO. They could work to earn whatever they wanted. But they did have to work for it. What they don't understand that these opportunities no longer exist. They don't understand that with a bachelors you can't get a job as a Jr Engineer that pays $150k/yr like they did. So they see you as lazy and entitled when you drive for uber for $35k/yr because Pajeet got your Engineer job that pays $40k.

It makes sense that the boomers were proudly "spending their kids inheritance" because they didn't understand the opportunity was gone. Why can't my kids buy a house and a new car at 25 like I did? They don't need to inherit anything.

[–] [deleted] 2 pts

$150,000/year for a Jr. Engineer? Maybe in the early 1990s as a computer engineer. Regular everyday civil engineers, even with advanced degrees made much much less than that. (in my profession in the 1970s/1980s engineers fresh out of college with an EIT started out at around $20,000/year).

[–] 2 pts (edited )

I'm adjusting for inflation. $20k/yr in 1970 is $140k now.

Again part of why Boomers just don't understand. "My first job in 1970 was $20k/yr. What are you complaining about $30k for??!?!"

[–] 2 pts

They pretend inflation isn't real so that they feel better about themselves.

The real question is why is there an incentive to leave the nest and split the families? I want to be on a big homestead with my loving family and get as off-grid as possible while teaching and upholding unkiked values.

Why should it be that the homes our forefathers purchased so long ago prove so useless today? Sadly, my dead father's home dwells deep inside a ghetto. He should have bought land out in the country when he saw mass-immigration becoming a issue in all major cities.

Feels bad, man.

My father was brilliant, and has even been redpilled on the JQ and other serious things. He is one of the boomers who recognizes what was done to the younger generations and has gone far out of his way trying to help his kids through monetary gifts, support and advice when needed.

My mother, on the other hand, is the quintessential narcissistic boomer who divorced my father in her 50's so she could be a slut around town. Never once did she apply for a job, never once has she worried about retirement. Never once has she treated her children as anything other than a race-horse, or a problem. She is a typical man-hater type who grew up in the 70's and could never forgive me for the crime of being a white male child. She barely communicates with any family members unless she wants something from them and she rages about how evil her father was for having basic fucking standards and delivering reasonable discipline.

She is the most self-centered person I've ever met. If you aren't something she can use as a tool, or that she can show off to her friends, you're dead to her. I'm quite successful and in my early 30's and she'll communicate with me only when her boyfriend is out of town and she wants something. On the occasion I speak to her about realistic matters like "I've been treated poorly my entire life due to who I am as a white man" she tends to respond with "Well it's your turn to be treated like shit. Women used to have it bad." She took out her own insurance policy for a nursing home because she's well aware that none of her kids are going to be willing to participate in caring for her in old age.

You can sit down in front of her and show her videos and she'll simply stick her nose up and say "that didn't happen" to photographic evidence. The sorts of people are the trash of our society and the sooner they die off, the better. Though I guarantee that her life goal will be to destroy any inheritance she might create before dying. If she can't use it, it doesn't matter. I can only imagine how hellish life would have been if she divorced my father when I was a child rather than when I was a late teenager.

Narcissism. Boomers refuse to take responsibility for their fuckups.

[–] 1 pt

Every generation thinks they're the shit and the generation that came after "doesn't know what's up".

As far as parents resenting their children I have no idea. If that's the case as soon as the child is old enough they should punch their father in the mouth. Just thinking about that makes me angry.

[–] 1 pt

This. Children have a general desire, stronger in some than others, to "leave the nest". Parents often want their children to follow in their footsteps, or have plans for their kids to be more successful than them, and don't like it when the next generation doesn't want to go into the family business or work hard in school. This drove the move to the nuclear family when our society became rich enough to have the option.

There's an old saying that, if you're under thirty and not liberal you have no heart, and if you're over thirty and not conservative you have no brain.

And I don't know why some idiot downvoted you.
