I don’t think so? Starting to creep into it though. Gen Z cut off (majority were parented by Gen X) is 14 years old right now, and people are having children older, so I think the gradient is still mostly gen X. Of course that doesn’t make millennials good parents either. I’m admittedly singling out Gen X based on personal vendettas, lol
Yep. I’m a Xennial and could easily have grandkids like many in the small town I grew up in do. My millennial step-sister /is/ a grandparent (though she started young).
Agreed, looking at the article it is the parents or adults who are buying for the kids, or providing an allowance and the kids buy their own.
This is what happens when generations are raised without the word NO because some numpty has decreed saying no harms children. There was a time when NO meant NO.
I don’t think they’re raised with anything, not much yes either. My parents were really early Gen X, they fit the latchkey stereotype pretty well, and they had SUCH a laissez faire style of parenting that shocked me as I got older and compared more to my friends with boomer parents.
I definitely don’t, but we hare having really different experiences if the world doesn’t seem to have backslid around the gamer gate thing in general. I think if you look throughout history it’s always been a two steps forward, one step back kind of progress for women, and right now we are definitely in the step back phase
I’ve seen a lot of hand-wringing about boys being victims of the manosphere but I kinda think gen-x are maybe just some of the worst fucking parents
Millennials haven’t done any better from what I’ve seen and heard.
Pretty sure mellenials are the majority of parents, including parents of teens, right now.

Alternating generations don’t really line up with each other that well. Younger Gen Z are children of Mellenials.
I am on the ass end of Gen X (late 1970s) and almost 50. Most people had kids earlier than me and my kid is about to graduate.
The ass end 😆 I guess we could go find the actual mixture if it really mattered.
It’s really hard to take you seriously when you can’t spell millennial correctly, even with spell check and autocorrect.
Bold of you to assume I’m using either.

You think boys and men treating girls and women as objects and toys is something new in this generation?

Ok so it’s way too simplistic to say parents today are the worst then.
I still think it’s true, though
Whatever gets you through the night.
Ok
