this is a good point actually, as you point out, the people in charge of raising us could be blamed for making us soft

And parents (at least some) are finally realizing this. But this isn't new. It's just gotten worse in the last 20 years. Government schooling was always a problem but it's reached new lows. 

Public school teachers and college professors lack maturity and promote crybabies and prolonged adolescence today. There are no adults in the classroom

Does the older generation always think the subsequent generations are soft?

It’s a logical fallacy. The older generations blame the younger generations as soft as if they weren’t the generation that raised up the younger generations. So really who’s to blame? That’s like saying, If the next generation is soft, maybe the older generation forgot they were the ones who molded the clay.
