My father is an extreme example of this, even for boomers, but I beat him at a board game when I was a child and he stopped doing any activities with me completely. To this day the only activity he will engage in with me is going on his daily walk.Another classic Boomerism: insist your kids play a game with you. Teach them the rules of that game but never, ever teach them any strategies or tactics. That way, you will always win, and you can sit in self-congratulatory smugness while telling yourself you outsmarted your stupid kids.
^ This literally applies to games but is also an analogy.
My dad is really silent generation but I've seen boomers behave the same way. Something about not always winning breaks their mind. It would be sad if they hadn't buttfucked the entire country with that mentality.
