@sedoskovelha123 I see this online but not much irl. Both my sons and their friends don’t do that. They highly value family. I’m Gen X and raised them to think for themselves. To reject peer pressure and be who and what they wanted regardless of the world around them. I did strictly limit their screen time and encouraged socializing face to face by having their friends over constantly. Our house was always full on the weekends. I know their friends except one was raised similarly. So I reject this characterization of them. I think because we’re feed a loop of the others because it gets attention we’ve been conditioned to view them as the norm when I don’t believe it is. I do believe they’re lost. That they don’t know what they’re supposed to do, but I don’t believe they want it.

@BLRodgers This! I heard Millennials described as the 2nd family of Gen X parents. They’d felt they screwed up with Gen X by never paying us attention and went ultra hard the other way after their divorces and remarriages. That they had to make up for us. We were pretty much a feral generation and it’s really odd to see such a sharp turn in parenting with the following one. You’d see a slight shift starting mainly in the upper class that eventually trickled down, but never such an almost universal sharp turn. I do know a study about self esteem came out that turned things education wise drastically. As usual they failed to understand the findings. It said early success showed improved self esteem and high self esteem meant later success in life. That’s where everyone gets a trophy comes from. They thought they could artificially create self esteem. The education thing comes from the Department of Education becoming way more hands on in state education. Edit: I was one of the hardcore in Gen X. Partied like crazy in my teens, listened to punk and heavy metal, rejected conformity. Later studies showed we ended up the most well adjusted.

I’m Gen X. Even though I listened to heavy metal and mocked the protesters at the concerts I did not go down your path. My parents were conservative but not the crazy restrictive type. They allowed us to dress funny and make our own friends. We also were poor so we all worked as soon as we were allowed by law to buy things we wanted. Needs were met but wants were our own to provide. So we were all very responsible. I didn’t get married until 25, but that was 3rd engagement so it wasn’t a lack of offers. We immediately had 2 kids pretty much back to back and I was a stay at home mom which is what I wanted. I wanted to be there for my kids and do the things my mother couldn’t because she worked. I know she hated it too.

@habibishapur What “truth”? Do you think nihilism is new? Please. It’s fine to understand your place in the universe and how small you truly are. It’s weak to stay in it instead of understanding that just makes the impact you have on the other small parts of the universe that much more important. Our impact is through those we encounter and that’s enough because it has meaning to them no matter how small.

Gen X but same. For example my husband’s grandmother was Roma aka gypsy. So I make sure my children know some the traditions and carry them forward. I’m Native American, English, and German. More importantly southern. So I also teach them those as well.

One tiny problem with your belief. You’re better off than Gen X was at your age. We did not have this massive prosperity. We created an entire new economy because the previous one had been given away to other countries. You’ve had one crash. We’ve been through 3. Who do you think was losing their homes in 2008? It wasn’t y’all. Most were still in school. It was us. You’re trying to say a bunch of 20 year olds owned their own home to lose? The youngest were 12 the oldest 22. THIS is why we don’t like you. You lay claim to what didn’t happen to you. I grew up with inflation and interest rates so high nobody could even buy a car and with oil shortages and you who grew up with unbelievable luxury want to claim it was like the Great Depression where people were dying of starvation. You hit a single bump and act like the world is burning. You’re freaking drama queens and weak and it’s annoying as hell. Edit: It’s also hilarious y’all think y’all figured out there was corruption. Look at the Church hearings, the IRS having to be slashed in the 80s because it was a freaking power hungry force, look at the PMRC, etc. Don’t put your nativity onto the rest of us.

@PariahPsypomp6775 Are you calling her a camel? Do you not even realize how difficult doing what she’s chosen is? It’s completely against the current norm. That makes her the lion. It’s like how women today view early Christian women. They see them as oppressed when the truth is the opposite. Women were just looked at as for sex. It was demanded of them because the other religions at the time were hedonistic. Orgies and stuff were common place. To be chaste was seen as against the norm. It was very freeing for them. Just like now. A woman that chooses family over herself is seen as wrong and against the norm.
