yes, this is it. And prob why gen x is the quieter, tough gen. We hear about millennials /gen y and boomers but the one in between isnt mentioned as much.
We raised ourselves in many ways, handled conflict with a good fight that was never to inflict serious injury but just really to end something, be friends again and get winner status. Gen x is THE BEST gen.
But Gen X birthed and raised a large % of millennials, and the rampant helicopter parenting, the participation trophy mindset and current psycho Karen epidemic is largely Gen Xers.
I'm a cusper sandwiched between Gen X and Millennials, born smack in 1980. Can't fully identify with either group but parts of both.
As an adult, I now wonder what all the Gen Xers were moping about with Grunge and films like Reality Bites....compared to Millennials Gen X lived in amazing times as young people. I'm at the point where I'm considering children and wish the world was close to what past generations enjoyed, I fear I'll be bringing them into a dystopia.
I disagree. I am genX. Graduated in the 90s. My kids are too young to be millenials.
The millennials I know have turned 30. Chronically infantile. Mine are more z and based as hell.
Yeah there are always some that spoil it.
And if you want kids, have them, trust God and raise them well. The future needs good, well raised adults. Dont let the craziness stop you, thats no reason! Your future kids could be instrumental in good ways.
I miss the good days too. But all hope isnt lost, anything can change.
But somehow we raised the millennials. Whether it was through over protecting our kids from the same trials we went through or our lack of vigilance while the education system indoctrinated our children, it is Gen X that raised these entitled little fucks.
Full disclosure: Im Gen X born in 1965. I raised three millennials born in 85, 87, 88. The two older children have followed my path, the youngest is a leftist. I raised my kids like my father raised me and my grandfather raised him. God. Outside all day. Chores daily. Hunting, fishing, camping, firearms training. I taught them everything they would need to survive outside on their own. How to start a fire with one match in the rain. How to build a shelter. How to bake bread on a stick over a camp fire. And still my beautiful baby girl has tattoos, piercings and pink hair. I blame Stanford. She left a sweet girl and came home a bitch. 200k wasted. She doesnt even use her degree, she is a social media coordinator for rich Bay area leftists. Her husband (thank God she was pre tranny rage but has told her mother she will never give us grandchildren) is a German born leftist Apple engineer. On their wedding night in 2012 I told my wife I think his parents are Nazis. Fortunately I dont have to see them. But I dont see my baby girl very often either.
Ouch. That sucks about your daughter it is actually heartbreaking and frustrating!
And theres def truth to what you said. I do think its the college indoctrination.
She will come to her senses just stubborn right now thinks she knows everything. She will learn. I pray God protect her and get her out of that delusional world. When that happens, she will remember you guys taught her right.

And fortunately most of us got through school without total progressive indoctrination.
Yep. I think 5th grade was the last year there was bible study in my school. Things slowly started changing after that.
I don't know about the BEST, but certainly the last good one.
I am Gen X, and I approve this message.

As a parent, you control how your kids are raised. You can, as I am doing currently, raise your kids to be based and awake (and it starts with God).
Donβt fear having children. God is about to do a reset and your kids may be instrumental in the future.

Gen Z with Gen X parents are the best!!
Don't fear. Know God. Be be bold, be fearLESS and have many little patriots.

I like the cut of your jib.
And it's most definitely not because I'm a fellow gen Xer π
And then gen x raised their kids to be useless fucks. Not so great.
