As a millennial librarian I do have some advice for gen z. Please, if you ever want to save something for the future-like say you’re packing up for college and putting some childhood papers/cards/retro photos in boxes-do not use a rubber band to keep it together! I’m not sure how relevant this is anymore, but give it a decade and that rubber band essentially turns into dried pasta. Also, a lot of grandma’s recipes were probably cut from the back of a cereal box or a soup can (there’s some really fascinating research on this!). So if you aren’t talking anymore or you never got the chance to ask, a quick google search might help you find that nostalgic taste you’re craving.

[@cyndrift]

considering boomers also raised millenials who they hate but ultimately have a lot in common with, i feel like this is a pattern. whether that's bc they see too much of themselves in the younger generation which makes criricizing them easier and more personal, or this is just redirected family drama, is hard to say

[@Archiver_Studio]

They really dislike being shown the mirror of reality when it prove they're the one who's stupid Go figure-

[@delanamckay]

Now go ask your dad why he raised you to be a snowflake. It is 10000% true for sure. GenX are your parents who raised you with your short attention spans, lack of a solid education, easily triggered over any little inconvenience, all of it. They went through massive life trauma so you wouldn't have to and basically their trauma is why you were never allowed to do anything in life but sit behind a computer and make virtual friends....and if you ask your dad, he will tell you all about camp, and creatures, and the insane lack of adult supervision, the teen pregnancy epidemic, the serial killers, hitch hiking, bad teachers, wildlife.....all the movies that terrorized an entire generation, all the slasher movies, the horror flicks....GenX vampires didn't sparkle and mope. They'd rip guts out in the most violent of ways. GenX kids were exploring desolate tunnel systems, abandoned houses (or not abandoned houses), drag racing in their vehicles before they got learners permits, the fake sleepovers and fck parties, the band groupies, the coke parties. All that and more is why you didn't leave the house, lol.

Kids can't even exist in places anymore! The defunding of education, the rise in abusive adult content, and the fact that both parents have to work in order to sustain a family all lead up to this. It is incredibly hard to raise kids these days. Parents need more time to properly parent their children. We don't always get that these days.

As a millennial I also have something to tell Gen Z. When ironing something made of cotton, linen, or wool, mist it with water first so that it's damp. For best results, let it cool/dry on the ironing board before picking it up. Laying an unvarnished piece of wood (like a clean cutting board) on top of it helps speed up the cooling/drying process.

As a GenXer with "Silent generation" parents? This is just "parent brain". They told us the same thing and we complained about it just like you are.

Or they forget how rebellious they were as kids. It's like amnesia or something. But I also believe that every generation is "softer" than previous generations because of technology. Technology isn't just a smart phone, it's also the person that first used a controlled fire to cook or raised a farm animal rather than just hunting constantly. I'm sure other strengths come out though like focusing on mental wellness.

I'm so sorry, I had hoped that my generation is going to try to do better, that we all collectively wanted to do better, to not repeat our parent's mistakes. Violence against your kid is never ok - it's a sign of weakness, of inability to communicate your feelings. Is your mom in therapy, are you? Is she putting any effort to do better? Regarding abuse, there's a book that is centered around partner abuse but I think it describes motivation of abusive behaviour pretty well in other dynamics and I think it's of incredible value for any young person - especially neuro divergent folks - to take time to read it. It's available online for free - Lundy Barcroft, the title is "Why does he do that". I think understanding the reasons why people resort to abuse and violence is,in way, incredibly freeing for victims as it sort of, vindicates the fact that it's *not your fault*. Please take care and stay strong ❤

For example, a generation that grew up communicating by text probably knows the best ways of doing it. A text message isn't the same as a five page paper on Hamlet, and grammar rules for one wouldn't work well for the other. Be willing to let go of your own preconceptions and learn from the masters.

[@Maradrafts]

As a member of Gen Y (as in 'why the heck I am even here and how does this whole life stuff even work'?) I fear so much for the younger gens, honestly. I was lucky enough to not have apathetic parents, so I have been raised enthusiastic and militant, but fast-forward a few decades and I'm forced to realize just how disillusioned, tired and cynical I have turned out. Recent years have upended a lot of my convictions and things I personally took for granted, living through the p*ndemic as a hypochondriac somewhat hurt my ability to seek out and trust others, and in doing so to be in contact with outside perspectives and differing opinions, and wanting to keep up with the news and politics often means that I see the world as little more than a series of crises in waiting I feel pretty powerless to act on. And by many accounts, Gen Z has it even worse that we did; so seeing so many young people 1) grow up in such an unstable climate, without the security and certainties we had, and 2) still manage to harbor hope, have convictions, take action, and in some cases become symbols and role models for others always fills me with awe. Now that I'm firmly an adult, I do feel like I failed those kids; sure, a lot of the parameters and structures that inhibit them were already implanted when our generation was their age, but I keep thinking we could have done more or better - that I personally should have done more, especially in recent years, and that my own inaction is part of the problem. It's kind of an old chestnut to say that kids (and young adults) are the world's hope, but I do feel that way. Gen Z has a lot to deal with and yet so many of them are thriving- and boy are we in dire need of that kind of spirit right now. Hearing and seeing some younger activists also got me thinking about becoming more involved in political and social causes again, apathy be damned, and I thank them for that. I hope I never become the type of entitled older person to blame my own shortcomings on later gens or demand respect simply for being born earlier.

as a millennial, I also have something to say to Gen Z, listen up, (+edit) aluminum foil + salt + boiling water is a fast cleaner for silver, then rinse with water, *edit* please clean Jewelry, it goes on your body and gets dirty from the oils from your body, and earrings - don’t be lazy you can get infections, wash your eyeglasses with dish detergent/dish soap and dry them with a paper towel- those microfiber clots Can make micro scratches on your glasses, *edit* I would recommend You use an Eyeglasses Microfiber Cloth, But Do You Know How To Clean that Cloth? that cloth should be washed, a lot, they pick up dust like velcro, and never use fabric softener on it, and they get dangerously frayed after many washes and start damaging the lenses fast, if you don’t wash that cloth properly, I recommend Soft Paper Towels bc they are easy and disposable, don’t use harsh paper towels obviously! but Come On *Never Wipe DRY Dirty Glasses With A Paper Towel, Only Dry Up Wet Clean Glasses!* wiping your glasses when they weren’t washed only pushes dirt and particles around and you are pushing them into the lenses, wash your glasses with water and dish soap, rinse and dry them, and If *You Have AR Lenses* you nitpickers, You Need to Use glasses safe cloth! because the lenses are covered with film that gets wiped off and scratched off, unfortunately you will eventually need new lenses if you keep wiping them to harsh, here is a professional cleaning and drying them: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4vFaZWsodV_qq8si=YfBVk_KAvNXENVJV make up removing wash cloths - best to clean them with the simplest bar of soap, better then trowing it in the washing machine, and air dry it on a rack never in a dryer, every clothing and underwear that is made from elastic fabric - is Not good for drying in a dryer, the elastic rubber bands will fray and break from high heat also extra: if you got a greasy stain on cloths, put some dish soap on it before tossing it into the basket, they stain will dry up and be harder to remove so dabbing some dish soap will let it dissolve a bit before you need to do your load of wash, white eraser sponges are magic! I wash every white surface with them, I clean my bathtub, the faset, my sneakers, even my bike, even a $1 white magic sponge will clean your shoe soles, dish soap is magic for any greasy stain, Never Wipe anything clean DRY, pick up anything spilled but then Wash it and Dry it, don’t Mix Chemicals for Cleaning, Are You a Scientist? do you want to make your own Vat for Your Villain Beginning? don’t mix formulas!

The problem is how many people like that are around, convinced that they've done everything right and are better than everyone else just because they're gen X.
