Op here. I’ve looked for same birth years as my kids.. and it’s interesting to see the range in parents that are my peers (such as in school functions).

I see this in person too, but I can’t always tell. I’m 39, and it’s a tiny bit easy for me to guess if someone is +/- 5 years different in age. But I can’t tell for many people.

Also it’s harder to scan for generations, but I do see it’s interesting what gen x is raising. A huge huge variety of generations.

For example for people born in the 70s, I’m seeing here a 99 and an 18.

A 25 year old and a 5 year old.

Like I said, we see this out in public. There’s no judgment behind it. But it cuts people’s ideas that boomers raised X and Milennial. X is raising Z and Milennial is raising Alpha. It’s so much more complicated than that.

Plus boomers is a massive age range that should be divided. 39-50 and 50-68 being very different.

Feel free to lie by 1-2 years in either direction just for the extra layer of anonymity. If this is important to you.

Format should be something like

84+82=11
84+82=14
84&82=17

Meaning two 1980s babies grew up to have kids in 2011, 2014, 2017

I could also add my parents for fun.

43+45=82

I think it would be interesting to see who are the parents of milennial. Who are the kids of gen X etc. Who are the parents of Gen Z and Alpha.

My mother’s parents 88 + 06 = 27 and 29

My father’s parents 05 + 05 = 28 and 31 and 42

My parents 29+31 = 64 and 65

DH and I. 60+64= 97 and 99
