[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm Gen X with teens, and what I see is too many Millennial parents not adjusting to being parents. As in, they want someone else to do the heavy lifting on this whole parenting thing.

I've been outside gardening and overheard Millennial parents tell their kids to "shut up" as they stared at their phones on the walk home from the bus stop, as if they're somehow angry they have to parent their own kids. It is just so strange. It is at if many Millennial couples are constantly at war as to who is "stuck" with the kids today.

It's time for some parents to grow up.[/quote]

I see this in some of my family. I was explaining to my niece that if part of having kids is spending all your spare time and money on them. Kids are expensive and inconvenient. I’m trying to arrange for someone to drop off and pickup mine tomorrow and Friday. My nanny is flying to her hometown to be with her brother who is not well. DH is out of town and so are my parents.[/quote]

Exactly!!

So how about skipping the hair and nail appointments as well as happy hour with the girls at Bar Louie and pick up YO OWN DAMN KEEEDS!!!![/quote]
