sick of elder gen x cousing

[Anonymous]

I think Gen X is the last generation that could count on owning a home and building generational wealth for their kids. I think my kids' generation (Gen Z) will be ok because they'll inherit from their Gen X parents who owned homes, has health insurance provided by their employer and had jobs with 401ks and matching funds. Kids of Millennials are screwed, just like millennials are. I get they they want to lash out.

It seems that your cousin's behavior has less to do with being gen X and more with having undiagnosed mental health issues. Doesn't matter what generation, having mental health issues will bring problems.

I think you need to roll your eyes at her and demand, “What’s your damage, Heather?”

HEr kids can't stand her, two of her young adult kids are failure to launch, and she can't do anything for herself. Just venting. I'm so sick of this group of genxers who think they have endured so much so everyone else will be fine. meanwhile they all have undiagnosed mental health issues and have horrible relationships with their kids. ugh.

Your ability to draw conclusions about an entire generation of people based on your sample size of one is peak millennial.

The logical flaws in this post are truly stunning.

So? Worry about your own life.

I’m GenX and agree with this.

However, the 2009 financial crisis hit Gen X hard at a time that impacted their wealth development. They will never amass as much as the boomers did based on the timing of this. It delayed many from acquiring a home to build equity and build portfolio gains. While they themselves benefitted from lower college tuition, they are paying hundreds of thousands to send their adult children to college. The boomers are completely clueless about all this. Millennials have it the worst but IMO GenX is aware of this.

Also, Trump would have never won in 2016 without the massive boomer vote. Boomers welcomed the monster that is destroying our economy and democracy. It will take future generations decades to undo the damage.

Who exactly are you talking about? Get your whiny facts straight.

Trump 2024

“ Gen X — which slightly favored president-elect Donald Trump with a one-point margin in 2020 — shifted 9 points toward Trump this cycle. Gen Z favored Vice President Kamala Harris by 11 points, compared to 24 points for President Joe Biden.

Meanwhile, millennials and their boomer parents were less likely to move toward Trump. Millennials favored Harris by one point, a five-point shift down from Biden's six-point margin in 2020. Boomers went from supporting Trump by five points in 2020 to a flat tie between the two candidates this year, and were the only age group that voted more Democratic.“

GenX women went for Trump bigger than any other generation.

The PP was talking about Trump in 2016. And if he hadn’t won then, he probably wouldn’t have been a candidate in 2024. I do blame my fellow Gen X for voting for him in 2024, but Gen Z men voted for him also.

In 2016 GenX and boomers had very similar numbers with Trump numbers. It’s the idiots who kept voting for him that’s so confusing.

The biggest divide is regional. Southern states have a big hand in America’s slow downfall. Trump didn’t win in any state in the Northeast or West Coast. Trump winning certain states correlate with the states that have poor education systems, they don’t invest in education and their voters are ignorant.

Gen X are now the old fogies?

You realize the this type of debate over child rearing has been going on for many decades, if not centuries? Dr. Spock wrote his Common Sense Book of Baby and Child Care in 1946, and in the late 1960s he was being blamed by Vice President Agnew (born 1918) and other conservatives for the rise of the hippies.

In 20 or 30 years young parents will be making fun of your generation for your out-of-date parenting techniques. In reality, there's not that much difference between generations - the big difference is between better or worse parents in any era.

Me too. The negativity just bounces off my back because I have been insulted so much over the years I developed a thick skin. Maybe we drank too much water hose water or Mountain Dew and it made us cray.

You don't like your cousin. That's fine. You don't have to like her. But don't extrapolate your dislike onto an entire generation.
