[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another thing, OP, is that first, you were not privy to whether our people in our parent's generation were complaining to one another.  Second, reading DCUM means you are hearing complaints from people with whom you have no contact.  Those same people might have been complaining 20 or 30 years ago, too, but your parents never would have known about it. Third, you are aware of the irony of complaining about the complainers, right? Just making sure.[/quote]

NP and I think this is an EXCELLENT point, re: being less aware of complainers.

I think there are at least two effects of the Internet present in this discussion (as younger Gen X and mid to older Millennials here, we are the first parents seeing the effects of the fully-integrated Internet age).

1) We seem “whinier,” not necessarily because we are, but because all the whining is on full display (and “gets clicks”).

2) Almost everyone is supposed to be on call for work all the time in a way previous generations were not, leaving less time for household tasks.[/quote]
