Got it. I wasn’t focused on marketing at all.
Who'd have the nerve? We're slaves to both the Boomers and Millennials/GenZ's. Why bite the hand that feeds them?
Generalizations exist for a reason. Enough of a group exhibit a particular behavior, or thought process that is noticeable to those who don't behave/think the same way.
It makes sense, societal norms change with each generation. The oldest generation can't relate to the youngest one, and of course each generation thinks theirs is/was the best. It's a tale as old as time.
My 3 Gen Z kids are absolutely perfect though, they don't fit any of the stereotypes, just like I never fit any of those Gen X ones
Probably all of them, honestly.
My stepmother makes those remarks. I point out that she’s talking about her grandkids, raised by the kids SHE raised. And the ones in my age bracket, hello, you’re talking about the kids we raised. If you’ve got a problem with them you need to look inside.
My youngest DD made a Boomer remark once and I pointed out that’s no better than them dragging on her generation. (And pointed out her beloved grandpa was a boomer) If she wants acceptance and understanding it has to be a two way street. I raised my kids to respect their elders but if they do what my grandfather did to me then my kids are free to speak their minds about it.
Sounds like you are a great parent!
My GenZ son will occasionally throw "OK Boomer" at me (even though he is fully aware I'm GenX). To some, it's the ultimate insult.
My teen did a period of that too! As a joke. I just yelled “I’m gen x!! Im not that old!”
That's because the defining characteristic of our entire generation is that we are ignored and overlooked.
Yup ! Until they start telling me that my kid (who is working 7 days this week) has no work ethic and no morals and is rude.That's because the defining characteristic of our entire generation is that we are ignored and overlooked.
I do say it and it absolutely drives him nuts because at 24 and an early-Z'er, he hates being reminded he's not a Millennial (he tries to pass). 
Maybe it was in the 1950s!
24 years after his death, they probably would be interesting reading. At least you aren't reading his stories from the Sacramento Union. He left that paper in 1936.
We can’t take full credit. We pretty much hit the “good kid lotto” with them. *knock wood* So far anyway. I think their generation is more aware and empathetic than the ones before them.
Exactly. I think that people who make statements like that feel threatened by the differences without realizing it. Does that make sense?
Eh, I like standing on the sidelines as an unnoticed observer. But on a serious note we really were ignored as kids. The latchkey generation. I didn’t realize it until I was older but a lot of us really did raise ourselves.That's because the defining characteristic of our entire generation is that we are ignored and overlooked.
Damn right. ❤
