Continuing the book topic, Tim shares specific memories like his father's advice not to overestimate your value, and dark jokes about boomer parents ignoring abuse.
- Boomers weren't helicopter parents—they dropped kids off everywhere and left them unsupervised.
- Tim's father told him 'never overestimate your value,' advice you couldn't give a kid today without it being called abuse.
- The book includes a chapter on things boomers got right when raising their kids, balanced against most of it being what they got wrong.
- Example of boomer negligence: a kid telling parents 'my teacher's molesting me' and them responding 'will you shut up.'
