If you wouldn't be such a reader and instead memorized things like God intended, you'd know, that this sentiment existed for at least 2000 years:

The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.

/u/Socrates

Well now I’m calling my children cross-legged goblin tyrants in public.

I agree with your point, but I'm not sure if that is a real quote from Socrates: https://quoteinvestigator.com/2010/05/01/misbehave/?amp=1
