Yur family is probably fine and your perspective is wrong. Here's why:

When humanity moves forward, prior generations, and those with old mindsets will always appear to be backwards to the "pioneers" (credit nostr:nprofile1qqs2dg3dtrdkwz0gr3t3wenahm3dmwkzy3y9whdtlyh5kvxxacgjnugpzamhxue69uhky6t5vdhkjmn9wgh8xmmrd9skctcpzemhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejz7qgkwaehxw309ajkgetw9ehx7um5wghxcctwvshsxwymg0 for the term). That means those who came before did in fact make a better world for those who come later, and they did so with the sacrifice of not being able to participate in said new world.

If new generations don't see the old as backwards and a bit fucked up, and instead old generations saw the youth as no good do nothings- and were right- that's a collective red flag for a society.

The divergence in perspective is a feature not a bug that we're collectively advancing. You still need to be there for them, though, especially since they know not.

I have no idea what you’re saying

I'm saying it's healthy and normal and been a common story since the start of civilization. If you were saying this about your own children instead, that would be a fail because it means your family IS going to fall behind the rest of society. It also means since it's normal, the only fucked up thing is if you didn't show loyalty to them anyway.

Key phrase being “born into”

I hope you have found your tribe.
