[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow. The PPs who expect their parents to pay their airfare must be millennials. Entitled even as adults. I’m Gen X and we just don’t have these kinds of expectations of our parents.

Do you even know what Millennial means, without Googling? Doubt it. I’m a millennial and I am 42. My parents have never bought me a single airline ticket or paid for a single hotel stay. Likewise my ILs have never paid for travel for us. Nor would we ask or expect it. My parents and ILs have never given us significant amounts of money. If anything, WE are the ones buying dinners, paying for hotel stays if our house is full of other people at the holidays, etc. WE are the ones buying expensive presents.

Shall I drone on and on about putting myself through college, living with roommates and riding the Metro in my early 20s? Do you need to know that I only get Starbucks about twice a year?

You talk about “Millennials” like they are all in their early 20s. It is time for you to get with the times, and at least know what you’re talking about when you throw around generational terms. [/quote]
