This isn't even funny. My father did this to one of my brothers with a realistic Jason Voorhees mask. It was so bad, he crapped himself and he was promptly whooped for crapping.
Nah my boomer mum was extremely abusive, she'd have a bad day and beat me and my brother until she was too physically exhausted, then send us to our rooms so she didn't have to look at what she'd done. She'd never tell us we could come out so eventually we'd just leave out rooms and she'd act like nothing happened. We were very well behaved out of fear. She was also emotionally abusive and manipulative but too much info to give there.
Her life sucked so would have bad days almost everyday. I always assumed her mum must have been worse as I'd heard previous generations were more strick. My gran always seemed lovely but I didn't know what she was like as a mother, until I was older and spoke to my mum's siblings. She was always the loveliest, most caring women. Loved her kids, firm but fair and was super progressive for the time. That's why my mum's siblings are all great, well functioning adults and throughout my life I've had so many people tell me how amazing they thought my gran was. So there is no reason for my mum to be the way she is.
So not all boomers wanted to be better parents than their parents.
FYI I had therapy and cut out my mother, my brother found Christ and also cut out our mother. We're still close with the extended family. I always found it weird when my cousins and most of my friends really liked their parents. It took me decades to realise my upbringing wasn't normal.
Yeah well in my case I know my mum gets to live with her actions because she's lonely. My aunts and uncles still talk to her out of pity, but they don't like her
