Good quote from an article I read at lunch - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

From an article titled "A Dad's Guide to Anger Management"

"Gen X dads (me) are still sorting out the dueling role models our culture has served up. In one corner are the Greatest Generation fathers (my dad) who taciturnly got the job done, assumed their affection was implied, and weren't above the occasional belt to the ass. In the other are the touchy-feely boomer parents who say the fear factor has no place in the paternal palette. Thanks, Thirtysomething. It's left us to find the middle ground."
