What parent thinks this improves their offspring's chances? I'd eliminate any candidate who did this.

I could see boomers doing this. It would serve multiple egotistical purposes for them. Firstly, it would be a direct opportunity to feel superior to everyone in the interview to be the eldest in the room. Secondly, they would get to upstage their children/grandchildren in front of their potential employers and peers which makes boomers feel like they are still relevant. Thirdly, it allows them to directly influence the life course of their kids in ways they never could have done before which feeds the boomer's need to be in total control of everything. And finally, it just becomes about them because we wouldn't be talking about this at all if they didn't make it all about them and their egos. Boomers would definitely do this.
No other generation would see this as acceptable of helpful. Boomers would just jump right in because it feeds their egos like nothing else could, other than going on dates with their kids to control that too.
It's bad. Man, I know boomers here will deny it, but just look at the kind of ads they run during niggerball. All pharma for things that occur as you age.
Hate to say this, but boomers are all in their 70's / 80's and their kids are retired or approaching retirement.
It would be the Millennials taking their Gen-Z kids to the interview...
I would ask them what the heck they think they are doing, have them explain themselves, then tell them that them and their entire family is blacklisted from the company for life.
