[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yup. Proud Gen Xer, here. My bff’s boyfriend was in the service and bought us all the liquor we could drink and more. We had co-ed sleepovers and drank our faces off. Those were the days. [b]My entire parenting ethos has been to help my kid avoid all that and I have done well. [/quote][/b] I truly believe that's what caused the whole tiger/helicopter parenting thing to occur. Parents who partied way too hard when they were younger, don't want to see their kids do the same. And I will admit I am guilty as charged - and I actually think it's a good thing! Yes, I have glorious memories of my decadent past, but I am happy as hell that I'm not raising my own teens in the same culture. [/quote]
