Gen Y or Millenials

I felt like a disaster struck me as I took the PlayStation's joystick from my son. He came stomping, crying, and snatching the joystick from me. At that time, I realized how much we Gen Y or Millennials kids are dominated or should I say scared?

I remember those days in my childhood when I used to play Atari, we were warned by our parents to stop overplaying otherwise it would affect our eyes. Parents those days did not compromise on discipline. They had their own rules for eating, playing and sleeping, etc.

I usually compare our times with the present. I narrated to my son that we never argued or stomped at our parents. Whatever was told to us, we used to take it as a final warning and dare not rebel against them. One glare was enough to fix us.

With the change in time, our position also changed. Sandwiched between our parents and children. A feeling of frustration always steps in giving rise to no respect clause. I am so sure kids of my generation will relate with me as they might be going through the same phase and thoughts. I often blame the progress of technology for our kid's behavior. Should I say this advancement has given our kids the freedom to rebel or should I blame our parenting style?
