"the Gen-X cohort refused to fear anything. Not because we’re super-human, just because we been through it. All of it."
Why did Gen X grow up from latchkey kids to the helicopter parents of Gen Z? You were forced to adulthood early and then allowed your children to not grow up.
It's a pendulum swing for sure. I feel like Millennials and their children will have to balance that or it's going to be a shit show.
Well I agree for the most part - because of my two daughters - 25 and 29. Both with Masters, both living on their own having great lives. We raised them feral and free range - and they battle for each win. Not sure what happened to many of us
There's a weird twist to this statement:

A total shit show for sure.
We've raised our kids (15 & 19) as "feral and free range," and when they younger, I was constantly reminded of how that wasn't the norm.

Yeah, it's not all but I certainly feel the pressure as I free-range from the helicopter parents of Gen X. It's weird.
