Yes, Gen Z and Alpha are a softer generation because there is a percentage of Gen X who are raised and are raising them sheltered and giving them everything. Obviously, It's to each his and her own family. I fully intend to teach my nephews to be respectful and that they must have inner endurance. Cause in their lifetimes as a Generation group they are going to see and experience events as a group like all other Generations have.

Saw a video calling gen x are terrible grandparents for not babysitting our grandchildren every weekend or something. I was thinking to myself; most of us raised ourselves, took care of our brothers and sisters, in some cases our cousins, raised our kids, and in some cases our nephews and nieces. We still have to work as well. They need to raise there own kids. When is it our time? Great list of things we saw growing up. Don't forget about aides epidemic, crack epidemic, street gangs, the threat of nuclear war with Russia. Oh and our crazy uncles back from Vietnam. We've lived through a lot.

For the very first time in our lives we FINALLY get to relax a bit and enjoy those little things that we missed out on while growing up. If GenZ has a problem with that then Oh well.

Wait, what? We are talking about Gen X here, right? In those days, what would make teachers think of sniffing students' water bottles or asking what was in them? One of my junior high school English teachers was high every day. We actually didn't carry water bottles, though...And, "What kind of parents did you have that they didn't notice that their vodka took missing? How did you get the vodka?" I believe there are enough videos that discuss the type of parenting that Gen Xers experienced. I was "raised" by a single alcoholic father who didn't notice when alcohol came up missing. Moreover, friends had older siblings who could buy alcohol...
@Gen_X_Rosey 28 күн бұрын
Well, I guess we had different parents because a lot of the parents I knew noticed stuff like that. Now, I do know some parents didn't "take care" of their kids. My mom worked too, and I was a latchkey off and on. But she did notice the things I did and was kind of strict. Not ALL Boomer parents were neglectful or passive with their kids. As for the schooling, they were pretty strict at the schools here too. Kids DID get thrown out of school for underage drinking and got in trouble with their parents too. So, yeah, bottles were checked if they were allowed in the classroom at all. Let's not forget, I don't know you, I don't know your parents, and I didn't go to your school. So, I guess not all Gen-X is created equal. And I didn't even get into cultural differences. I'm assuming you're of a different race than myself? You can ask any black person and they will tell you that there were certain things a white child could get away with that black children couldn't. Anything from talking back to and cursing in front of their parents to, sometimes being able to steal alcohol from their parents (at least, my best friend at the time could). So, while we experienced a lot of things the same, there were also some things that were done differently.

@@Gen_X_Rosey My parents were Silent Generation, born March 6 and March 12, 1926. I have Boomer brothers. I am an early Gen Xer from Northeast Ohio, and in the early to mid 1980s, we didn't bring bottles or anything to drink to school. Thermoses were for soup. Most of us packed a sandwich and drank from the water fountains. Bottled water wasn't a thing in Cleveland until decades later. So we didn't actually try to sneak anything into school in bottles, which I suppose is why I can't imagine teachers checking them. I absolutely understand about the cultural differences. I am white, but for 13 of my young adult years, I was more or less a part of black culture regarding the neighborhoods I lived in, who I worked with, and who I dated/lived with. While I agree with you that, in general, black parents were stricter with kids, we certainly couldn't talk back to or curse in front of our parents, either, because all of my friends' parents were Silent Generation, and they didn't play that at all. They were our parents, not our friends. I think there are some differences between the experiences of early Gen Xers and later Xers as well as the cultural differences that you mentioned. Bullying Gen Z because they don't drink like we did is as bad as the bullies we knew, who discouraged kids from studying, because they would mock us and call us a "brain." I agree with you that it's terrible.

@@jennieoconnor5695 Thank you for your Insight, I appreciate that. Your parents were only one year younger than my maternal grandma. My parents were teens when they had me and were junior Boomers". I'm a Bicentennial Xer, close to being a Xennial. My high school best friend at the time used to cuss around her parents, and they didn't really care. I was scandalized because my cousins and I would have gotten smacked in the mouth or spanked! Even saying the word "lie" around our parents was no-no! She also got into a fist fight one morning with her mom (and bragged about it) because she didn't want to go to school. When I got to school, her mom drove up with her in the front seat. She got out, stopped to talk to me for a second and said, "I have to take this note up to the office. I'm quittin' school!" I was, again, scandalized! She figured that she "...won the fight." What I figured, all these years later, was that her mom got tired of arguing and fighting with her bull-headed daughter! The girl whined and argued until her mom gave in and she got her way. Poor woman hardly got any peace at all!" So, I just saw a huge cultural difference in how she was raised as opposed to how I was.

GenX does have some well earned cynicism, that is for sure. Besides all of what you said, there is much else. GenX had high childhood rates of lead toxicity, poverty, bullying, violence, and suicides. A recession also affected many of us in the early 1990s. Then as adults, we were the first generation in recent history to be poorer than our parents' generation, following several generations of improving economic conditions. And we now have higher rates of midlife mortality than our parents. If Millennials and GenZ want to understand us, they need to realize we were the generation during which the decline began or at least when the consequences of the decline became undeniable. Rather than criticize us, look to us as potential allies.
