Perhaps some of issues with emotional management expectations, roles models, etc. can be placed on baby boomers, but not solely for their parenting style. From what I have gathered over my life, it seems like many of the parents of baby boomers were far worse parents than the parents many baby boomers eventually became.
I would argue the most damage has come from the near complete and utter erosion of social communities. As the saying goes, "It takes a village [community] to raise a child." I can't name a role model in my community. In fact, I have no community that I can access without the Internet.
We went from "Survive together; thrive together" to "every man for himself" way too rapidly.
