[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

+1. You may have done it but it’s definitely not normal to have a child in your mid-late 40s. I don’t know how it could be possible that, as pp said, most of the gen z kids she knows have boomer parents. The vast majority of gen z kids have gen x parents because most people have kids in their late 20s-early/mid 30s. [/quote]

Not in NW DC. Elementary school parents are often in their 40s here.[/quote]

Right but having an ES kid in your 40s is obviously different than having an infant at 46. Even for DC that is decidedly old. [/quote]

[b]I don’t know I was 50 when my daughter started kindergarten and I did not feel old at all. My buddy was 53 and he said a few 60 year old dads at kindergarten orientation although they were second marriages.

I mean unless you have rusty sperm not uncommon. Look Tony Randal. Alex Baldwin, Benjiman Franklin all had kids later in life. And Moms are joining the party. 50 year old Moms in preschool is now not uncommon [/b][/quote]

All of this is gross, self-indulgent behavior. [/quote]
