[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have two sons in their early and mid-twenties. They don’t whine or complain about life. They work hard and play hard with their large friend groups. I don’t believe they’ve touched a video game controller since college. They’re not softies. When they speak with older people it’s always yes ma’am and no sir. The younger one has had a girlfriend for 5 years and the other is married. They’re gainfully employed and living on their own. They work out and eat healthy, but still have a few drinks with friends on weekends. They enjoy life to the fullest and never sweat the small stuff.

[b]Everything I read about Gen Z [/b]doesn’t comport with our lived experience. It’s not like we’re the parents of the year. Did we just get lucky, or are others experiencing the same thing?[/quote]
