Not quite true. Boomer is based on the baby boom after WW2, so 1945 onwards. 80+ is a better demarcation. I only nitpick since my father and in-laws are 78 and true boomers.
I remember watching the shorts on The Tracy Ullman Show before The Simpsons got a show of its own.
I'm using the same one. For Democracy.
I read somewhere that you should never look down on anyone for mispronouncing a word because it means they learned it by reading.
As a childhood bookworm, that lesson stuck with me.
You're obviously aware of their playstyle, and if they aren't very well versed in the rules, maybe you could roll a couple of melee focused spellcaster (Hexblade Warlock, Bladesinger Wizard, etc) options for them and have them choose from one of them rather than relying on them to come up with something on their own? They'd still have some agency, but would play a character that better suits their playstyle.
Oh, and make sure the options don't have a dagger in their equipment list. ๐

I also had to do farm labour (picking fruit) before I was legally allowed to work at 14. I was taken advantage of (financially) that whole summer - underpaid, and occasionally worked an entire day and got stiffed outright. I've never stopped working since then (I'm in my early 50s), aside from a few months of unemployment between jobs that was more stressful than working. I'll likely have to work until I die.
Fuck that shit.
My kids are 18 and 20 and as long as they're in school, it can stay that way. Once you start, you don't stop. I'll let them enjoy it as long as they can.
