Gen X let ipads raise their kids. Sad. Terrible gen.
Gen X has contributed a ton to how we all live our everyday lives. No one can deny that. However, as a hardcore X’er with an 8yr old son, we have some explaining to do about the kids we’re raising. Most of my friends have kids in high school or college right now and none of them can do shite for themselves. It’s mind boggling.
Then I have my son’s world. We’re usually the oldest parents in his social circle so I’m surrounded by millennials all the time. Watching this group coddle the shite out of their kids is crazy. We have 3rd graders that can’t tie shoes or ride a bike. If we’re doing something outside in the summer, 90% of these kids check out after a few minutes because mom is chasing them with sunscreen and long sleeve spf shirts. It’s a real struggle.
Also, millennials gave you modern day travel ball. They took the sport you would play in an empty lot with your friends and turned it into stereotype.

Accurate except no one in my family smoked.
Our 1976 Chevy Nova (with a nice V8) had a giant spiderweb on the front windshield from my brother’s head (which head was later nailed with a lawn dart at my bday party— this sounds cliche but is 100% true history).

“millennial dads are the greatest generation” social media posts lately. These psychopaths genuinely seem to believe this is the hardest time to be a dad in the history of humanity. It’s beyond fricking comical how self-important this group is. ??
With their 3 months of maternity leave.

I used to lay in the back window of my dad's '71 Impala every weekend from Nola to Ponchatoula to visit family. That was from ages 4-6.

That shite was boomer started and X followed. I'm damn near 40, that shite started when I was a kid.

Gen X gave us gen Z, of which around 35% identify as gay or trans or some bullshite identity, and 80% claim some type of neurological disorder.
Maybe you losers should have "coddled" those freaks a little more. Or less. Idk how you let it happen, but thanks for creating a worthless generation that millenials and gen alpha will have to deal with the rest of our lives.

We would always go to the fishing house at the lake for the company summer party in the mid to late 80s that my dad's boss owned. His place was an acre on Lake Seminole. Us kids played with the old school lawn darts. We would set the hoops apart about 30-40 yards and let those darts fly. We would go out on the boats fishing in the morning and at night. During the mid-day we played with the lawn darts and ate. Old school grills, adults burning heaters while cleaning fish, and great food.
We tore up some bream and bass one morning and went back for the mid-day festivities. Sure enough, during one of the 30-40 yard heaves the dart went into the top of one of the kid's foot. IN IT. The fish bit so good that morning that his foot received the proper dose of the brown bottle medicine that made it foam up, wrapped in an ace bandage, and a tube sock put over it...at his request (no doctor visit) because we didn't want to miss going out fishing that night.
We were just built different.

Yep. And rode in the back of pick-up trucks or in the top bed of an overhead camper booking down the freeway.
Went to the gas station to pick up smokes for the old man just on our word that dad wanted them.
