Except... A cheap college education. A job right out of high school if you did not go to college. Affordable housing. Affordable health care, mostly paid for by your employers. A job that paid enough for one parent to stay home and raise the kids. Pensions. The ability to retire at 65 after spending 40 years working and not saving like your kids. Public works programs that enriched society as a whole. But the Millennials are the entitled ones, right?I am entitled to nothing.
I was thinking the author was saying "I'm entitled to: Not wait. My time is more important than yours. Have my message heard, even if others don't want to listen. Have my family focus on me at dinner. Feel superior over others. You should accept that I may laugh at you. Receive thank you notes. You will hand write them. Define what is and is not a good use of some else's time. Receive phone calls from my children." Looking through the list again, the "don't text me important stuff" one is annoying. The problem is I call my mom to tell her something, and before I've finished the rounds with everyone else she's posted it on Facebook. By the time I've called siblings, they already know and now I'm the bad guy because they found out on Facebook of all places. Complaining about texting is just the new "you should have told me in person."
