You make them sound kind of niggery. Think they're the shit, and insult others all the time, but chimp out over the slightest insult back. Act entitled. That's black people.

Anyways, to your comment. Yes, they do feel as if acknowledging their kids and grandkids have it harder invalidates their own experience because to a point it kind of does. Consider that because they had so many advantages for themselves, it was also easier for them as parents than any prior generation of parents to set up their kids and progeny for success.

But they didn't.

How many of them are going to be handing their kids a paid off home? More likely they're kids will be inheriting a home with a mortgage, or two, or a reverse mortgage.

How many of them set up dedicated, recurring contribution tax shelters for their kids like a 529 or UTMA or minor IRA?

They couldn't jerk themselves off hard enough. Their kids are struggling and they know they could have done something about it if they had acted when they were younger.
