He could have a point, yes. You cannot say 'all older parents are like to coddle their children more etc' because that would be patently untrue.I saw a recent video from Jordon Peterson, who I side-eye massively, but he was making some unsubstantiated claims about the fact that people have children later in life means they have fewer, which means they are coddled more and have less psychological resilience. Could he have a point?
I don't agree with Jordan Peterson on a lot of things but I do have sympathy for him, because he's been through hell.
Going through hell has made him a lot of money so perhaps it's not all bad.

You can say there is a group of older parents who.. Because there's bound to be. Just as there's bound to be a group of younger parents who do the same thing.
So is it a relevant thing to say? Not unless he puts a lot more detail into it. He'd have to consider the effects of the world wide web, social media, and all kinds of other things. Like social contagion.
I do agree with him in that I think we're seeing a generation of kids who don't appear to have any psychological resilience at all.
We can see that from the need to have 'safe spaces' in Universities and 'trigger warnings' on books. These kids appear to have been wrapped in cotton wool for their entire lives and now want to be treated as the fragile poor thing they are.
It's attention seeking and narcissistic and they should be told to adult up and get on with life. Sticks and stones has apparently passed them by.
Anyway, he says stuff that I think is just wrong but sometimes I think he's right. I listen to those bits and ignore the rest.
My youngest son goes to the local college with people like this. He's always telling me stories of their antics and complaints. They also turn up late for lectures, skip off all the time, don't complete their work - they ask son to do it for them and whine about the most ridiculous things they do quite a bit of drug related stuff and have sex with anyone and everyone.In a previous role I used to come across University students who had applied for additional help (someone to take notes and so on). Leaving aside the very small number with a physical disability that needed that help, the rest of them were entirely from this brigade. All flaky, lacking in any self discipline, utterly self absorbed and devoid of any self awareness. They reveled in the attention of being needy and 'special' and many of them were trans or non binary. It made me wish I could send them down the pits.
Crying and depression are signs of no resilience now? Surely we should be praising a man who isn't afraid to show emotions that for years have been labelled as a negative and as for the depression one... almost everyone I know who legitimately has depression has had a period of being bedridden. It's somewhat cliche but depression is debilitating and I'm not sure we need to keep up with more negative stereotypes about it.Oh yes, a broken clock is right twice a day, but the cognitive dissonance is palpable.
He talks about all these kids lacking resilience, yet he cries at the mildest thing, was bedridden with depression and has a weird Donald Ivanka type relationship with his daughter, who in turn had so many physical and mental issues she could only cure them by eating steak exclusively?! C'maaan.
Yes, that bothered me too. I've been bedridden with depression many times. It doesn't make me a bad person. It doesn't make my opinion less valid.Crying and depression are signs of no resilience now?

Apparently there is also a disabled team. I would suggest he is more disabled due to poor MH than he is a woman .....Insanity. ‘I can’t play male football as I’m a woman’ No, you’re bleeping not.

The absolute state of him. He's their goalie so he has plenty of time to stand around watching the women play and what, gets to go in their changing rooms after?

Another man who has managed to elbow his way into a woman's team. In the article, he says that he couldn't play in the men's team because he's a woman. He also mentions that he was "rubbish" at football. I'm sure there's a connection there somewhere .Ignore the Lionesses 8-0 victory last night, we have an even more stunning and brave person playing women's football
