We Gen X are it

72
Snowflakes melt under my gaze

So, you have a point. We grew up between the two most selfish generations to ever exist. And now they seemingly outnumber us. Part of that is our fault. Finger pointing aside, What do we do about it? We understand that we all feel the same way about our world, and want to see change for the better. How about we start THERE, and talk about SOLUTIONS? My two bits, as a 40 something Gen-X'er, we need to come together as a force for positive change in this country right now to birth a new renaissance, a return to our wholesome roots and set our vision on a return to the wonderful melting pot this country once was.

I do not care what you believe, but the boomer are the "generation (20yrs) following the END of WWII ... 1945-1965

and the only reason the X generation - our children, have a clue is because they were raised by US ... the genration that stopped a war (Viet Nam) stopped the draft and revolutionized music, hair and clothes styles and perfected "multi-culturalism"


all this shit happening now - is the result of the X generation letting TV raise their kids ... and their kids lack of family values - other than what they saw on TV,

No, Boomers don't run to '64
There is a shadow gen from 1960 -1965, these are solid GenXers, born in the exit Boomer years.

I was born in the late 60s. My son was born in the early 90s. I SAW how other parents were raising their kids and did not follow suit. I taught mine, that while I and his family loved him, he was NOT the center of the universe. He was taught a work ethic and how to deal with a tough world. I spoke to him in a normal, adult voice while all around us I had to hear adults speak to their little ones in that sing-song sugary "Mommy wubs her ittle man Here's a sticker for being you." When he was in the wrong, there were consequences and I didn't ask, "Can you share with me why you made a bad choice?" Grrrrr.......

FOLKS Still-to-this-day are raising special snowflakes. As a teacher I am asked to sit and listen to why a student made a bad choice and have him explain to me how he feels about his consequences---whether or not he feels "heard" in my room. Nope, no way.

I could go on and on-----I would have HOPE if I saw that we were not continuing to raise entitled kids that cry every time they are held accountable. BUT, I am just not seeing many changes in the upbringing of the ones that will inherit from millennials. PLEASE tell me that I am wrong. I want to have HOPE.

Geezus... is this what we've been reduced to? Why don't we just make 11/12 national generations arguing over whos generation is best day...



Total fuckin' psyop

You didn't stop shit. The war went on for 10 years. Then our veterans came back and you spit on them. If you participated in this you are a piece of shit. You are the fucking problem.

no the boomers made shit like it is.

Millennial are the current problem.

Jane had fantastic poon.
Lined in gold.

Each generation is born to the previous two. It is not a generational problem but a mindset that is not bound to age.

Mine did too lol

1966 here - 5* for this post. I birthed a millennial, but I raised him right. He''s roasting his crybaby peers on FB since Wednesday.

Sorry butter cup these precious snowflakes were born in the 80's and 90's when boomers were having kids in droves. That's the boomerang generation. Gen X is the generation bust because there are not many of us because Boomers took birth control pills to avoid having kids in their 20's instead they mainly had them when they were in their 30's and settled in their careers.

Oh yeahh.. i remember Sister Jody from the "Fall Guy" ...taught me a thing or two about my body while thinking about her

Not sure where the hell you are from but back in the 70's most of us still had mom at home cooking, cleaning and taking care off kids. Dads were still working their jobs and bringing us kids up on farms (Or at least us country kids) Kids did the farming, and we loved it.

The first time I ever heard of a family getting divorced it was in the early 90's when Bev Michoud divorced Francis. The only family I ever heard of that got divorced, and they waited until all the kids were adults.

That's the truth!

We GenXers will never live down the shame of our embarrassment at having snowflake kids with gender and sexuality fluidity!

I'm glad I never had kids; but the rest of GenXers have a lot to answer for... May doom be upon their heads!

Doom on you! Doom on you! Doom on you!

Thats the way life should be, hopefully we will reach that point again.

Born in 1970, son born in 1999. He loves Trump, hates "hipsters and hippies" (his words, not mine), has recently felt comfortable enough around me to call Hillary supporters pussies and knows that the world does not revolve around him. Not sure who the fuck raised these 18-30 year old cry babies, but it certainly seems to have skipped a generation.


If you notice on the news it's usually white people that are protesting. I'm thinking they've watched too many Netflix videos of the 60's protests and think it's cool to smoke pot, stink and hold up signs protesting things they have no idea about.


Honestly, how many here leaned more liberal in their 20's, but became more conservative as you started working and watching your hard earned money go to freeloaders?

Me too. 72. It's sad there's no more auto shop, cooking, home economic, cosmetology, classes any more. That's where jobs are made. Were made.

What is up with Gen X'ers being so punk?

;p

x'ers don't watch self help videos.

I'm from the deep south, Mississippi to be exact, and this was not happening even in the most backwoods, country areas of this state. I had tons of friends whose parents were still married, but both worked. I also had a lot of friends whose parents were divorced. Not sure where you lived, but it sounds like an episode of Leave It to Beaver! Not a knock on you at all, but certainly not how it was in my area of the country!

Sad, but a lot of trade jobs are now overseas and women don't stay home any more much less to cook and sew. I had good times in home ec making aprons and learning how to cook. HAHAHA!!!!

You know it!

Try not to make a snowflake and CPS comes to the door.

Oh that's fkn funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Born in 1984 here, and voted for Trump. For the most part, people my age annoy me.

73 here and yes you are correct
