'That our kids have it easier than us is a sign we did our jobs right. '
'Yet when young people call us on it, we turn on them with spite and malice: “Grow up, snowflakes!'
'And yet the year 2017 sees both them and us agreed on one thing: the next generation will be worse off than their parents. '
'Do we really want them to remember that we hated the idea of their happiness and comfort so much that we clubbed together to strip it away?'
'We earn the right to be moaning old farts only because we put the work in to make it happen. '
