[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gen Z is awesome. I hear the perennial b*tch*ng about "kids these days," and think to myself that I have no objections to how my kids and their peers conduct themselves. (Other than the normal nonsense that young people have always gotten up to.) [/quote]

Jen Z is bitterly screwed up. They have lost the ability to evaluate evidence and simply repeat whatever is trending on their preferred social media. Bunch of green-haired zombie children who will screw anything that moves and waste their lives going down rabbit holes to find the perfect bizarre subculture for their Tick Tock presence. I am the Gen X parent of an undergrad who also works with undergrads and I am devastated that the kids are so deeply not alright. Most of these freaks have Boomer parents whose own disturbed behavior normalized depravity and led to this disaster. If the human race survives another generation it will be a miracle. [/quote]

Most of the Gen Z kids you know have Boomer parents?[/quote]

Agree that seems odd. I am a very young boomer, had kids in my 30s and they are both millennials. I have a few friends with Gen Z kids but not many - unless they are men with younger wives. [/quote]

Both myself and my wife are  boomers first marriage we have a 21,19 and 14 year old. Pretty normal [/quote]

What?? That is not normal. My mom was a young Boomer (1957) and I am 41. So even if you were born around the time of my mom, you are really really old to have kids those ages. Even the youngest boomers are 60.[/quote]

No they are not. I am born 1962 and wife 1964. My youngest is in ninth grade. My cousin she pushed the envelope married at 40 to a 50 year old. They had kids 42, 44, 46 and him 52, 54 and 56. She born 1959 and him 1949. They still have kids in college. I think he is one of the few Dads born in 1940s with a kid in college!

My grandparents and great grandparents pre birth control had lots of kids. 8-12 common. They all had kids to mid 40s. I am 59 if my Mother was alive she be 96 and my grandmother would be 135 years old. I think a brief period of time in 1940s to 1980s moms had kids young and stopped. Today moms have kids later and in pre 1940s when moms had 6-12 kids the last kids are all in mid 40s.
