What age do you mean? I live in an affluent area and made good choices and had kids earlier by DC standard in my early 30s, about 80% of the parents are at least 10-15 years older. It's a little odd as they are talking about classic rock and graduating college in the early 90s.

As a member of oft maligned Gen-X and class of 1990, I'd like to inform you that classic rock is a sign of Boomers. Unless you consider disco, Madonna, New Wave, Alternative, and Grunge to be classic rock.

Grunge is millennial music sorry

LOL. Right.

Hahahaha no. Squarely gen x. Millennials were in elementary school when Kurt Cobain died.

Actually i am a millennial and was in high school

Millennials are 1981 or later. In April of 1994 you were either 12, turning 13, or very recently turned 13. How were you a freshman in high school at 12, having started high school in 1993? Unless you skipped grades? In which case, that would not be very common and most of the year of oldest millennials would have been in middle school. Being 1980 myself, I was in 8th grade when he died.

Good. Maybe they won’t do it when they have kids then. I’m Gen X and also think it’s a bad idea. It’s really not that hard to find a kid friendly restaurant and keep kids busy during a meal without them watching YouTube

Yeah, I was a high school sophomore when he died, and I was born in 1978.

Moms in their 30s.

They complain/whine about everything while their little ones are glued to the screen.

You are Gen X. And anyways, the death of Kurt Cobain was not anywhere near the beginning of grunge so even if you are 1981 and somehow were aware of grunge music and plaid flannel in your middle school years, you were just slightly ahead of your time; grunge was definitely the latter part of Gen X.

I think the earliest pop culture thing that was millennial was maybe reality tv? Gen X was definitely sitcoms.

Class of 1990 means you were in high school in the 80s and a young adult in the 90s. Music in that time frame is classic which means more than 30 years old and still being plated.

Who cares what you call yourself based on henyear you were born. It’s no different than zodiac signs, fun but not relevant.

A lot of people who were born in the 1990s love 1990s music. Tool, Alice In Chains, Chris Cornell, Bush, Stone Temple Pilots.

Music doesn’t belong to people born in a certain timeline. There’s plenty of music I love before I was born and also current music made from different generations.

Won't most parents at some point be a parent in their 30s, 40s, and 50s? A small group of people become first time parents after 40, and a tiny portion of men become first time parents in their 50s (or 60s!). But the vast majority of parents will have their first child by 39. So... this is all of us.

I have empathy for parents at all ages and stages. I've also met ridiculous parents I disliked at every age, too. People put way too much stock in generational differences as being definitive. They are not. Being of any specific generation will not make you a good or bad parent. You will have to get in there and try your best and see how it all shakes out.

Age doesn't matter as much after 25 as having a good temperament, a suitable partner, supportive family, no addiction and basic stable income.
