GenX was kind of fucked up, so many of us had distant or absent parents as it was advent of both parents going to work and the surge in divorce rates. They also saw firsthand the rapid changes in society and technology and all that brought about. Many X'ers tried to compensate by supporting their kids too much, ironically. Gen X was a small generation compared to Boomers and Millenials, and many of us didn't survive. The over protectiveness makes sense in that regard, even if it isn't helpful to help too much. We watched the optimism of the 80's and 90's turn dark and cynical and tech go from a tool of liberation into a tool of oppression. I'm not defending taking your kids to their own job interview, but these are people that had to raise themselves and have little idea what proper parenting is supposed to be.

Wait, what? Come again? Yes, it seems the safe-space generation apparently needs mommy and/or daddy to show up as they try to land their dream job.
According to a survey by Resume Templates, 26 percent of those ages 18 to 27 brought along a parent to a job interview — and that’s just the beginning of the disturbing findings from the survey, conducted in April among 1,428 U.S.-based respondents who said they had searched for a job in the last year. . .
