Is there a word or phrase that captures the following:

>when your baby boomer parents tell you to stop being lazy and "just get a job", and like to complain that your generation is full of entitled snowflakes who spend all day on their phones taking selfies, and that back in their day people worked hard and "actually talked to each other" and their generation was perfect and none of this was their fault

Something that would fit in the sentences

I wish my mother would stop ____________ all the time.
My father is ______________ again.

B- but my parents can't tell me or anyone that I know to stop taking selfies and start talking to one another because none of us use social media accounts and we are active members of society.
They do keep telling me to get a 'real job' though; they just don't seem to realise I was a philosophy major who barely passed and am trying my best as a waiter with no other job prospects.

Because boom-booms have unrealistic expectations of their kids/grandkids. Most of them are complete idiots when it comes to technology so when they see younger generations doing basic shit they lose their damn minds and think they're savants despite not knowing jack shit about what it takes to be successful in IT.
