To set the stage, I HATE when people complain about younger generations, because EVERY generation did the equivalent at their age. Young adults that just finished school, whether that includes college or not, have had a very limited perception of the world. It's not their fault, they've only lived "the tutorial of life" up until that point. Having a job, paying bills, getting married, having kids, watching loved ones die, and all the other experiences that don't occur until later give you me perspectives and lessons. I've met some wise kids that have lived through things that I have yet to experience, but it's a pretty safe bet that an 18 year old is probably not the best person to give parenting advice. They could absolutely help give additional perspective, or share ideas you hadn't thought of, but as far as real world experience, they just don't have it yet.
