Because their boomer/gen x parents didn’t read to them as a child.

As a gen-Xer, this hurt to read. If I knew my classmates were going to grow up to be such dipshit parents, I would have slapped some sense into them. I mean, a lot of them were already pretty awful as teenagers... but, that wasn't a phase? Man, I am sincerely, deeply sorry.
